As America's first foreign missionary, Adoniram Judson (1788-1850) spent 38 years working in Burma, then one of the most hostile countries on Earth. Judson was ignored, mocked, beaten, and tortured, yet he never lost sight of his goal to translate the Bible into the Burmese language. Today, over 150 years after his death, his translation remains the only translation of the Bible in Burmese.

This is a great series that can be enjoyed by young children and adults. I used them as part of the training for a short term missions campaign. Each of the fourteen team members read a different biography in this series and then reported to the rest of the team. It was reminder that the training topics we were learning were relevant and lived out by the faithful and fruitful missionaries introduced by this series of biographies. For many of the team this was their first introduction to reading Christian biography and they loved it!Positives of this series:
1) Great introductory overviews of the lives and ministries of the individuals.
2) Basic reading level for an increasingly illiterate culture
3) Short enough to be read quickly in a culture with an increasingly short attention span
4) Available in Kindle and audio book for the technologically inclined
5) Well written and holds your attention without being exaggerated and exploitative
6) Chapters are short and can easily be read to children at bedtime or by adults on lunch breaks
Negatives of this series:
1) Due to their brevity and target audience the series does not deal with the more negative aspects of an individual's struggles with sin and the weaknesses in their personality as sinners saved by grace.
2) Does not come across as hagiography (so idealizing the person that it borders on idolatry) but these introductions are not the place to get the full picture of these godly but imperfect champions for God. Instead they are great springboards to more extensive biographies that deal with the fuller picture of these heroic but very human Christ followers.

Adoniram Judson Bound for Burma Christian Heroes Then Now (Audible Audio Edition) Janet Benge Geoff Benge Tim Gregory YWAM Publishing Books Reviews
This book was very good and quite readable. It gave a good perspective of the life of Adoniram Judson and the challenges that he had to face. Although the book was about Adoniram, it gave a good summary of the lives of wives of missionaries as well. Rated this book as 4-* because it is very well worth reading and it gives good perspective on how do some missionaries survive.
I read it to my children. We all really enjoyed it. It really gets your attention and makes you want to keep reading.
This book was written very well and hard to put down. I want to read more just like this one. A great read.
Dr Judson had the most amazing life. It was full of danger and adventure. Excellent book. Hard to put down.
I love the Christian Heroes, Then and Now series. My 10 year old loves it when I read them to him as well. This particular story was a little sad, but it was powerful.
13 & 16 year old boys loved this book! Great for any teen/adult as this series makes the story very exciting. They didn't put it down until they were done.
Adoniram Judson's biography is challenging and inspiring...but it's not just a nice happy story. The things he went through were extremely difficult and left us shaking our heads at times. We've been reading this series with our kids before bed, and they really enjoy them, but sometimes the younger one asks, "Why does everyone die in these stories?" So that gives you an idea of the hardships that the Judson's (and many other missionaries of that time) faced. Despite that, our kids are learning the worth of the Gospel (it's worth giving your life for!), the importance of perseverance in difficult times, and also not to take the blessings we have for granted.
