What It Said at Home

Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott

“If you listen to it, you will find it has something to say about your life at home, as well as about missionaries’ work abroad.”

Richard and Mary Franklyn are delighted when the new minister, Mr. Edmond, gives them a special box to begin collecting money for foreign missions. But his mention of life at home leaves them puzzled.

How can they listen to a missionary box? What could it possibly say? And how can its message really touch their daily lives?

Written by the author of Nellie’s Christmas Letter, this tale draws out the vital link between service abroad and faithfulness at home. Whether we are braving dramatic adventures in an uncharted wilderness, or just rolling out of bed with a good attitude on a cold morning, God has given each of us work to do for His glory.

What It Said at Home is the seventh and final story in SAW Publishing’s series of remastered historical tales.
