Borden of Yale (Men of Faith)

Summary: A Wonderful Read
Review: 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.

Summary: A Wonderful Read
Review: 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!

Summary: One Reading and A Lifelong Impact
Review: 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.

Summary: A Literary Eulogy
Review: William Borden was a wealthy Ivy League graduate with a singular focus on serving God. His intellect and his devotion are revealed, in part, by extended exerpts from personal correspondence in Borden's family. The story is not comprehensive and the presentation falls well short of a biography. It is more a collection of disconnected anecdotes in chronological order. Though Borden's missionary zeal is well established his most important relationships are not fully developed. This makes for something less than a satisfying story. The subject, however, is a truly interesting personality with an inspiring conviction. Borden's evangelistic accomplishments are unusual and one wonders what he might have achieved had his life not been shortened suddenly at an early age.
