"Expectation Corner: Or Adam Slowman, Is Your Door Open?" by Emily Steele Elliott is a Christian allegory published in 1892. The narrative follows Adam Slowman, a resident of the "Redeemed Land," who lives in self-imposed isolation, neglecting the assistance offered by his benevolent landlord. While his neighbors thrive by embracing the landlord's help, Adam's refusal leads to a deteriorating quality of life. Through this story, Elliott illustrates the importance of active and expectant faith, emphasizing the necessity of relying on divine support rather than personal independence. The work serves as an encouragement to seek God's guidance and a reminder of His unwavering love and faithfulness.Acquisition
