Bless God and Take Courage: The Judson History and Legacy
New Selection Ties to Bicentennial Celebration
 Valley Forge, PA - September 19, 2012 - February 2012 marked the beginning of a year-long bicentennial celebration of Ann and Adoniram Judson's historic undertaking of the first overseas mission. To encourage all American Baptists to learn this incredible story of unwavering faith, Judson Press has named Bless God and Take Courage: The Judson History and Legacy the 2012-2013 ABC Reads selection. ABC Reads is designed to bring the denomination together-literally and figuratively-through the power of a book.
In Bless God and Take Courage, author Rosalie Hall Hunt has provided a well-researched, thorough, and scholarly account of Adoniram, the three women-Ann, Sarah, and Emily-who served as his partners in life and mission, the Judson descendants, and the lasting impact of the Judson ministry. An engaging and in-depth tale of the people whose vocation led to the birth of American missions, Bless God and Take Courage documents the life and legacy of the Judsons with never-before-published discoveries and details.
