ANN JUDSON:
A Missionary Life for Burma
By Sharon James
EP. 286 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978 0 852 349 168

Being involved with supporting the work of missionaries across the world, this book has made me very thankful for the ease of travel and communication that we enjoy today.

Even those who still have to use dial-up Internet, or Internet cafés at some distance, are in a much better position than the Judsons were in 1812. As the first Americans to leave as missionaries, travel took months and communication sometimes years.
