The story of Ann Nancy Hasseltine formatted for Kindle and includes linked table of contents. Forward by Chris Gardner In 1812 Ann Nancy Hasseltine was struggling with whether to marry the man she loved, who would bring her far away, possibly never to return. Ann grew up in Bradford, Massachusetts, and had trusted Jesus at age 16. On February 5th, 1812, she married Adoniram Judson, and within the month, they were on a ship bound for India and then Burma, both determined to bring Christ to the world.
In October 1810 a twenty-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 heathen land. I am a creature of God, and he has un 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 thus commenced one of the great dramas of church history--a saga of love, courage, suffering and perseverance.
A new biography of Baptist missionary Adoniram Judson (1788 - 1850), written to honor the 200th anniversary of his first mission trip from the U.S. to the Far East that would in turn mark the start of Americans joining the modern missions movement.
Compared with the true independence the noble energy the almost superhuman intrepidity of the Mrs. Judsons how weak and despicable seem the struggles of many misguided women in our day who seek to gain a reluctant acknowledgment of equality with the other sex by a noisy assertion of their rights and in some instances by an imitation of their attire!'
