The Perfect Gift
“The Perfect Gift,” an Adventures in Odyssey Club exclusive, is episode #748 of the Adventures in Odyssey audio series. It was written by Kathy Buchanan, and was originally released on October 1, 2014.
Summary
Connie, Whit, Jason, and Brian investigate a mystery involving a man's last words on a mangled videotape.
Plot
- This plot section is too short and should be expanded. »
Discussion Questions
- How do you feel about mystery stories like this one? Were you satisfied with the way it turned out?
- Connie needed help running the shoe box drive, yet felt threatened when Damaris stepped in with new ideas. Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? What happened?
- Do you have any dogs like Lucy in your neighborhood? How do you feel about dogs in general?
- We learn that Hobbs’ kindness to others was inspired by God’s grace to him. How has God's goodness motivated you? Revisit last month's key verse, Titus 3:4-8.
- Do you own something that’s really special to you? How would you feel if that got packed in a shoe box and mailed overseas?
- Hobbs went out of his way to make up for his mistakes. When is that appropriate, and when is it OK simply to accept forgiveness and move on?
- Until they had all the facts, several people were suspicious of Damaris. Talk about a time when you jumped to conclusions about someone or unfairly judged a person’s motives? How can we keep that from happening?
- What was the most valuable thing Daniel Hobbs left to the people he cared about? How would you like people to remember you?
- Who do you know that needs God’s perfect gift of salvation? What are some ways you could talk with that person about Jesus?
- Have you participated in Operation Christmas Child as a family? If so, share what you enjoyed most about that experience. If not, now would be the perfect time to make memories together as you share God's love with a needy child many miles away.

Notes
- This episode's ministry is Operation Christmas Child.
- Allusions
- Pastor Aldin mentions that Mr. Hobbs loved Gilligan's Island.
- In-Universe
- A very similar situation regarding filming Christmas boxes (though with a fictional charity) was seen in #607: “The Undeniable Truth”.
- Connie's ridicule of Brian's watch is surprising considering her intended gift to Whit in #581: “A Christmas Conundrum”.
- A water gun mistaken for a real gun was previously seen in #155: “Waylaid in the Windy City, Part 1”.
- Mrs. Abernathy Connie mentions may be related to Judge Abernathy.
