Words that create a picture on the canvas of your mind
My friend and I commute to work each day and while he drives I have been reading this book out loud. We are both thoroughly enjoying it. Courtney Anderson is an excellent author and the book is well researched. The book is so well written that it is better than watching a movie. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the life and work of Adoniram Judson.

Missionary Biography of the Highest Order
This life story of Adoniram Judson takes its place along the greatest works of missionary biography. I first read the book for a J. Christy Wilson missions class at GCTS; it remains one of a few seminary texts I still treasure 25 years later.

Adoniram Judson, the first American foreign missionary, left America in 1811. He returned home once in the 37 years that followed, dying on a ship in the Sea of Burma in 1850. His story is a thrilling tale of faith. This biography does it justice. Buy, read, treasure this book.

"Must-Read" for all Christians
To the Golden Shore: The Life of Adoniram Judson
While the mentions any Bible verses only twice; one in the preface and the other at the contents, this book is far better biblical mission biography ever written. Professional touch of great depiction of the land which we most of us never seen before. Burma becomes so vividly alive before the reader's eye; even though many times letters had to swim across my eyes, if you know what I mean. At the first part you might feel a little overwhelmed to see this thick and tiny lettered copy but with all the certain assurance at last when you get to the last chapter, "to the Golden Shore" you will desperately wish if there were few hundreds more. --jason.
