The Death of Eliza Leslie | Particular Pilgrims
"Any missionary heading to India had to wrestle with the reality that they could die shortly after arrival. Surely, none of them expected to return to England. Moving to a hot, wet climate without immunities or medical remedies against exotic diseases, was part of the cost of reaching the lost. And Eliza Leslie had considered this."

Eliza Franklin | Particular Pilgrims
"We know little else about Eliza’s early childhood, but I have a careful portrait of her drawn about age 18 by William Thomas Fry, an important English engraver. It shows a small, attractive young lady with elaborately curled hair sitting in a chair holding a letter. She bears a pleasant resemblance to her father."

True Worship with CBTS Grad, Landon J.
What makes worship pleasing and acceptable to God? All Christians know that God ought to be worshipped, but some do not know why and how. Through His Word, God instructs us in how He wants to be worshipped. This introductory book is designed to walk through what true worship is, what worship should include, and how to identify true worship in a church.

Francis Franklin | Particular Pilgrims
Francis Franklin, father of Eliza, was born on December 9, 1772 in Mursley, Buckinghamshire. He was the youngest of seven children; his parents being William and Mary Franklin. Just before he turned 15 he moved to Oxford to apprentice as a cabinet and chair maker to his cousin, John Payne. He regularly attended the parish church, as he had been raised, but found the Baptist ministry of James Hinton to be more useful. He also took up the habit of reading, especially George Whitefield’s sermons.
