Have you ever wondered what it would be like to leave everything you know and love and start your life over? Ever dreamed of sharing the gospel of Christ with people who have never heard it? In To the Golden Shore, you will learn what it was like for one man and his young bride to do just that!
To the Golden Shore is Courtney Anderson’s timeless 1956 classic describing the true story of missionary Adoniram Judson. To read this book is to begin a step-by-step journey with the first missionary to ever come from America.
This book is rather long, coming in at just over 500 pages. But don't let that scare you if you struggle with longer books; the author has written it with 3 major section breaks that will help you in your journey with the missionary.
You will love Judson’s honesty, vulnerability, and determination as you follow him from his humble roots in America to the golden shore of Burma. In this new world, Judson would face troubles, mysterious illnesses, distress, imprisonment, and many near-death experiences.
God sent Judson to preach the gospel to a people that had zero exposure to God or His Word. How did they receive it? How did he fare? You'll have to read the book!
Attached are two links – one to purchase the book and one to a sermon by John Piper that will spark your interest in Judson.
I can’t wait to hear how God will use this book in your life as you read it!
For His Glory,
Pastor Chris
