Although William Borden was taken from this world at the young age of 25, the years he lived were full of dedication to serve. Kevin Belmonte draws on letters, quotations and images to paint a unique picture of William’s life of commitment to God, delving into the ways ‘vital truth,’ as William called it, was the star he reckoned by. In the telling of the life story of William Borden, there is much to learn about living a life of devotion to God.

With words carefully chosen and lovingly placed, Kevin Belmonte reverently tells the story of a short life lived brilliantly in service of God and God’s own. Belmonte’s Borden inspires and summons the reader to the noble destiny of being called by God to brightly bear God’s image in a world bedimmed and belittled by lesser aspirations.

Kevin Belmonte’s marvelous portrait of William Borden, ‘the millionaire missionary,’ not only inspires, but wistfully captures the time of a faith–prompted generation: one that modeled a decency, decorum, and dedication for which our hearts so yearn.

The life of William Borden has inspired my faith and walk with God since I first read his story as a young girl. I pray that this biography will inspire a new generation to follow in the steps of Borden’s whole–hearted, single–focused devotion to Christ, to choose Him above all this world has to offer, and to live their lives with eternity always in view.
