Now back in print! Without a doubt, our very best-selling book on missionary life that we have, and one of the finest biographies we've ever had the privilege of offering. Ann Hasseltine received a proposal of marriage from Adoniram Judson, who was shortly to leave for Asia as one of America's first overseas missionaries.
Thus commenced one of the great dramas of church history--a saga of love, courage, suffering and perseverance. In this biography, Ann speaks for herself, as Sharon James skillfully weaves together extracts from her Memoir and other first-hand accounts, in ways that make her story alive for today. A powerful testimony to the love, grace and faithfulness of God.
In October 1810 a twenty-year-old girl in the quiet New England town of Bradford wrote the following words in her journal:
"If nothing in providence appears to prevent, I must spend my days in a heathen land. I am a creature of God, and He has an undoubted right to do with me, as seems good in his sight. He has my heart in His hands, and when I am called to face danger, to pass through scenes of terror and distress, He can inspire me with fortitude, and enable me to trust in Him. Jesus is faithful; His promises are precious. Were it not for these considerations, I would sink down with despair."
