Bless God and Take Courage: The Judson History and Legacy 4.5 5 2 2

This book is by far the best and most indepth book on the Judsons that I have ever read. Rosalie Hunt did her research by actually going to Burma. She left no stone unturned. I will read it again and again and use it for reference.This book will give you a passion for missions and our mission heritage. June 26, 2009

A wonderful book for those who love biography and history! I had never heard of missionary Adoniram Judson and Ann, Sarah, and Emily Judson, but now I have wept and rejoiced with them through their trials, tragedies, and triumphs in Burma. Because of their selfless devotion to spreading the gospel in a dark land many today know, as Adoniram would weep, "Oh, the love of Christ!" My only objection to the book was that the author could have condensed some of the "legacy" into the "history" portion. It was really unnecessary to know all the stories of the Judson children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. I feel the book was complete when the old Burman woman who met with Ann at the prison heard "the rest of the story" all those years later. Still, don't miss the first 22 chapters of this great book! January 18, 2007
