Borden of Yale

The book arrived before the announced time, was in excellent condition and was certainly worth the price.

A Wonderful Read

This is a wonderful book that every Christian should read. It will inspire everyone to live more for the cause of Christ and less for self. I highly suggest this book to everyone; it would especially be ideal for young Christians about to enter college.This little book is well worth the read, and well worth a second read!

excellent!!!

This book has had more impact on my life than any other. In the 25 short years that he lived, William Borden invested himself, his time, and all that he had, in things of eternal value. He strove not to waste even minutes. Even though he only lived 25 years, he lived for God more than most who live for 80 years. This book will inspire you throughout your life!!! You will never forget it. Great for young people.

One Reading and A Lifelong Impact

When I was a college student, I read this book. Every day for the past 44 years, I have remembered it and the words of Bill Borden's commitment to God: "I take hands off as far as my own life is concerned." With the exception of the Bible, no other book has had such an impact on my life.

This is a life-changing book

No reserves, no retreat, no regrets. This book is incredible!! It is life-changing!! This book is about the simple life of William Borden and how he changed the world. William Borden was a man willing to live by God's standards no matter what the cost. He loved his Lord and he showed God's love to all those around him. Borden was incredible in the way he was able to instill biblical principles into EVERY area of his life and to live them and die for them. William Borden went to college at Yale and organized Bible studies and many prayer groups there, immenseley strengthening the Christians and their outreach. He also helped to start the Yale Hope Mission to reach out to those less fortunate. After college he went to Egypt to study language before going to China as a missionary. Unfortunately he never made it to China. After his death many tracts were made, from sermons he had preached, and distributed all over the world.
