In October 1810, a 20-year-old girl in the quiet New England town of Bradford wrote the following words in her journal:

“If nothing in Providence appears to prevent, I must spend my days in a far off and idolatrous land. I am a creature of God, and He has an undoubted right to do with me, as seems good in His sight…He has my heart in His hands, and when I am called to face danger, to pass through scenes of terror and distress, he can inspire me with fortitude, and enable me to trust in Him. Jesus is faithful; His promises are precious. Were it not for these considerations, I should sink down with despair.”

Ann Hasseltine had received a proposal of marriage from Adoniram Judson, who was shortly to leave for Asia as one of America’s first overseas missionaries. And so commenced one of the great dramas of church history: a saga of love, courage, suffering and perseverance. In this inspiring biography, Sharon James brings Ann and Adoniram Judson’s piety and hard work for the Lord to our attention – not to venerate them, but to challenge us to deeper commitment and service to Christ.
