5.0 out of 5 stars courage and adventure, July 12, 2005

This review is from: Bless God and Take Courage: The Judson History and Legacy (Paperback)

This well-written book tells the story of Adoniram Judson and his experience as a missionary to Burma (now Myanmar) in the early 19th century. One doesn't have to be especially interested in missions to appreciate this adventure story of a courageous pioneer and his wives who were important in their own right.

The indomitable courage of Judson and his first wife, Ann, infuses the first third of the book. The obstacles they faced, including a long imprisonment, were daunting and vividly told.

Rosalie Hunt served as a missionary in eight Asian countries and spent six years researching the Judson legacy.

Unlike many biographies there is nothing dry and uninteresting about this story of Adoniram Judson's missionary work and his family. It has everything a reader could want: romance, tragedy, adventure, sorrow, suffering and triumph.This is not to mention the golden thread of Christian love and godliness that runs throughout. And it is all true! I highly recommend it to one and all.

The new tome from Rosalie Hunt on the life and legacy of Adoniram Jusdson, his missionary service and the impact of his family on Burma is an opportunity to travel back in time...in person. Because Mrs. Hunt has liberally utilized the personal journals and mission records of the Judson family, nothing is left out. I celebrated births into the Judson family and cried at funerals for those same family members. To be brought that close to a family through a book is a rare feat indeed. Mrs. Hunt has accomplished just that.

If you have any interest in the beginnings of the American missionary movement, or want to walk alongside an incredible man and his family as they courageously follow God through difficult times of trials and triumphs, this book is a must read.
