Burning Out For God – English

"Born in Cornwall in 1781, Henry Martyn's life took a dramatic turn when he encountered Jesus Christ while studying Mathematics at Cambridge University. Fueled by a passion for missionary work, he embarked on a journey to India as a chaplain to British soldiers, where he began his most impactful endeavor: translating the Christian Scriptures.

Living in India and traveling through Persia, Martyn produced the New Testament and other portions of the Bible in Hindustani (Urdu) and Persian (Farsi), while also supporting translations into Arabic. His work aimed to make the Christian faith accessible to a diverse audience, transcending cultural and linguistic boundaries.

Martyn's ministry was multifaceted—serving soldiers, preaching to the needy, engaging with people of different faiths, and confronting the challenges of his time. This biography, based on Martyn's own words, narrates the story of a man who devoted his short 31 years to his faith, truly burning out for God."
