While learning from a literature curriculum workshop online (yes, still a home-schooler at heart!) I was introduced to an old biography called The Life of Rev. Henry Martyn by John Hall. This came just when I was looking for a new project to record for LibriVox.
Written for the American Sunday School Union in 1831, this small biography is packed with a powerful testimony. As I wrote for the book summary:
Henry Martyn (1781-1812), a brilliant and ambitious young student in Cambridge, England, was led by God to be a missionary to India and Persia. While pastoring, starting schools, and teaching the locals as well as Europeans through his role as chaplain for the East India Company, he worked on several far-reaching Bible translations. All this despite much weakness and illness due to harsh climates and difficult travels. This short life of 31 years is a testament to the power of God to work through one life fully dedicated to Him.
