In her later years Ellen White expressed her hope to get out a book on the Christian home. But other works, such as The Acts of the Apostles, Counsels to Parents and Teachers, Gospel Workers, and Prophets and Kings, crowded in and Ellen White died before the book on the home could be undertaken. Soon after the manuscript for Evangelism had been accepted for publication, the Trustees commissioned the preparation of a manuscript on the home. When the materials were assembled, following the same methods used for Evangelism, there was enough for two books, The Adventist Home and Child Guidance. CWAWAN 5.7
