Adoniram Judson: Bound for Burma

De: Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

Narrado por: Tim Gregory

As America's first foreign missionary, Adoniram Judson thirsted to see the Good News brought to the shrouded land of Burma. His thirst would be quenched, but at an unimaginable price. Adoniram survived starvation, imprisonment, and torture both on land and at sea only to watch his family, coworkers, and friends succumb to death.

In spite of heartache and depression, Adoniram Judson translated the entire Bible into Burmese. To this day his work remains the only Burmese translation of the Bible available. Adoniram and his first wife Ann were the spark that spread the fire of the Gospel into Burma, and their evident love for the Burmese people is a compelling story of unswerving dedication and sacrifice.

Amazing Book!!!

I loved that this book was very real while not overly detailed. The narrator is amazing! This is a great overview of the life of Adoniram Judson. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Judson, wonderful man! Loved the Burmese people!

I love this story of Adoniram Judson! His love for the Lord Jesus Christ and his gospel and his love for the Burmese people.

Encouraging & Convicting!

Wow, what an amazing story! In listening, I was often convicted by the manner in which Judson held to a faith in his God even amidst the immense pain of loss in Burma.

That said, I think there was ample room to dive deeper into the emotional/spiritual state of Judson in his time in Burma and in America. This would encourage us as readers in our daily Christian walk as we learn how to hold fast to Christ.

All in all, a wonderful read! Highly recommended!

Inspiring Bio

I was moved by his lifelong comittment in the face of such adversity. Adoniram Judson rocks!!

A beautiful vessel for God

阿多奈拉姆·贾德森 Adoniram Judson 1788-1850, 这位传教士出发去缅甸之前，写给他心仪的女士的父母的求婚信:
I have now to ask whether you can consent to part with your daughter early next spring to see her no more in this world?
现在我向你们请求，是否愿意把女儿嫁给我，此生再不相见吗？
whether you can consent to her departure and her subjection to the hardships and sufferings of a missionary life?
你们是否愿意让你的女儿离开，过上一个充满艰难困苦的传教生活？
whether you can consent to her exposure to the dangers of the ocean, to the fatal influence of the southern climate of Burma, To every kind of want and distress, to degradation, insult, persecution and perhaps a violent death?
你们是否愿意让她暴露在海洋未知的危险之下？ 暴露在缅甸的热带气候的致命影响下？常常处在贫穷、羞辱、落魄、逼迫，甚至死于非命吗？

can you consent to all of that for the sake of Him who left His heavenly home and died for her and for you, for the sake of perishing immortal souls, for the sake of Zion and the glory of God?
为了那离开天家，为你们和你们的女儿而死的基督，为了那些在黑暗中正在消亡的灵魂，为了锡安，为了神的荣耀，你们愿意答应这些吗？

Fantastic and inspiring

Every christian should hear the story of the Judsons and be inspired by their self-sacrificing love and unflinching courage in the midst of trial, persecution and much loss and suffering. Our modern day trials surely seem small in comparison to what they endured for the spreading of the gospel…

The Jesus Road

Such a well written sad, glorious and fascinating life Adoniram Judson lived. A true hero of the faith, along with his wives and ministry companions, they were true overcomers in the most grand sense of the word.

My son’s comment

My son Luke loves the story very much! The voice is great! The story is inspiring!

Really enjoyed it.

Adoniram Judson is my youngest sons name sake. It’s unbelievable the trials and loss of life he had to endure. It makes my problems seem insignificant and trivial. Thankful for his dedication to the mission field.
