Summary

Borden of Yale '09 is the inspiring biography of William Borden, a young American millionaire who dedicated his life to becoming a missionary after witnessing the global need for the gospel. While studying at Yale and Princeton, as well as learning Arabic in Egypt, Borden's commitment to faith and service profoundly impacted those around him. His story exemplifies the powerful difference one individual can make through a life surrendered to God, even in a brief time. This enduring narrative resonates today, reminding us of the transformative potential of selfless devotion and the importance of using our resources for greater good.
