This book is a revised, edited and expanded edition of volume 1 of The Lives of the Three Mrs Judsons by Arabella Stuart (ed. Jennifer Adams).
Mrs Ann Judson, the first Mrs Judson, headed out to the mission field with her husband in the early nineteenth century when the idea of a man leaving his home to take the gospel to the heathen was radical, but the idea of a woman accompanying him in the call was thought absurd! Yet Ann believed that nothing could be more wise or ‘prudent’ than to invest her life in eternity for the sake of Christ.
