This book is an important document of the establishment of the Kingdom of God. Adoniram Judson was an American Baptist missionary who served in Burma for almost forty years. At the age of 25 Adoniram Judson became the first Protestant missionary sent from North America. Judson is remembered as the first significant missionary in Burma, as well as one of the very first American missionaries.

Compiled by his son Edward Judson from family letters, journals and other first-hand sources, this book is probably the most complete document of Adoniram Judson's life and mission. Inspiring as the thrilling story of one of the giants of early missions, this work is also a high quality academic resource.

This book is an essential part of the library of any Missionary, Asian Historian, Missiologist, Christian or Pastor. It is the documented story of one of the first great missionaries of our time.
