Description

February 19 of 1812, Adoniram and Ann Judson set sail for Burma, as two of the first missionaries to ever leave North America to take the gospel to the world. Drawing on letters and church records, this author pulls us into the family life of one of history's most long-suffering missionaries, who changed the face of Asia forever with his work. Judson's devotion to others has made many a reader weep at his zeal for the glory of Christ to be known in all the world.

On Feb 19, of the year 1812, Adoniram and Ann Judson set sail from Salem aboard the brig Caravan as two of the first missionaries to go out from North America. Watching the shoreline disappear from view, they could not have foreseen the impact of their journey on the future of the Christian world mission or on the thousands of men and women who would follow in their footsteps. After a short stay in India, they carried the Good News of Jesus Christ to the golden shore of Burma.

Drawing on letters and church records, Anderson paints a poignant portrait of Judson's early life in dealing with the conflict between his desire for material success and the inner call to serve God. For Adoniram Judson "the golden shore" brought bitter hardships, imprisonment, and family tragedy. Yet, he never wavered in his commitment to win people to faith in Christ and to translate the Bible into the Burmese language.

This special edition recognizes the 175th anniversary of the Judsons sailing on their historic voyage and celebrates the early years of Baptist missions overseas. Photographs and reproductions of Burmese woodcuts are used in telling Judson's story.
