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.

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!!

It was a good and honest story but I would have liked to hear more about the converts not just all the struggles he had

I liked the descriptive words used. I thought the focus was too much on the hardships and not enough on the growing church. But it did show how hard it was to work in Burma as the first missionary!

Engaging!

I love learning about Christian heros! This is such a good book, my children enjoyed it as well.

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.

Inspiring

Well, researched, inspirational account of the life of Judson, America’s first foreign missionary. The book was easy to follow and well dramatized.

Amazing, wonderful, moving account

Loved hearing so much detail. Great dramatic account of someone who made such a difference.

Incredible

Such an incredible story of God working through Adoniram to bring the gospel to the people of Burma.

Great story but…

It was a great story to listen to. I just had a really hard time as the narrator kept mispronouncing his first name. The “I” in his name is long not short. It was a little bit distracting from the story, but still enjoyable story.
