Bless God and Take Courage: The Judson History and Legacy
This was the life of America's first foreign missionaries, Ann and Adoniram Judson. Since the publication of the Adoniram Judson biography "To the Golden Shore in the 1950s, much more has been learned about his life and legacy. Rosalie Hall Hunt has provided a well-researched, thorough, and scholarly account of Adoniram, of the three women — "Ann, Sarah, and Emily — "who accompanied him at different times during his ministry, and much more. An engaging and in-depth tale of a couple who influenced the birth of American missions, "Bless God and Take Courage (one of Ann Judson's favorite sayings) provides an intriguing trail of never-before-published discoveries about the Judsons. Hun skillfully examines events from their first trip to Burma and their influence on the formation of a denomination to Adinoram's imprisonment at Let Ma Yoon and the aftermaths of the Judsons' deaths. Hunt goes beyond the life of the Judsons to relate valuable information on their enduring legacy. She explores the subsequent investigation of the Let Ma Yoon death prisons, the tracing of the Judson birthplaces in New England, and the poignant lives of their children.
