Here she may exhibit whatever she possesses of skill in the mastery of unknown and difficult dialects; of tact in dealing with the varieties of human character; of ardor and perseverance in the pursuit of a noble end under the most trying discouragements; and of exalted Christian heroism and fortitude, that braves appalling dangers, and even death in its most dreadful forms, in its affectionate devotion to earthly friends, and the service of a Heavenly Master.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the remarkable story of Ann Hasseltine Judson, a young American woman who traveled to Burma in 1812 with her husband, Adoniram Judson, to become one of the first American missionaries to that country. A devout Christian, Ann Judson faced tremendous challenges in Burma, including persecution, ill health, and the death of her infant son. Despite these hardships, she remained unwavering in her faith and dedicated to her work, becoming a pioneer in the field of female education and a role model for Christian missionaries worldwide.
