Adoniram Judson

I’m having a great time reading To the Golden Shore, the biography of one of the greatest missionaries the world has ever seen–Adoniram Judson. Judson’s story is inspiring and challenging. I’m so thankful for this man. I’d like to be more like him.

If you don’t have the time for Judson’s 500 page biography, here’s a few other ways to get the gist of this great man who did great things for Christ:

-Links to a variety of Judson resources.

-Manuscript or audio of John Piper’s pastoral biography of Judson.

-Wikipedia article with pictures.

This last weekend my son sat in the sun next to me while I read To the Golden Shore. I found myself praying that God might raise up my little son to one day lay down his life in Judson-like fashion to advance the gospel among people who haven’t heard the good news of a crucified, risen, and reigning Savior. It will be exciting to see what God chooses to do with this little life that he’s entrusted to my wife and me.
