A Sketch Of The Labors, Sufferings And Death Of Adoniram Judson is a biographical account of the life of Adoniram Judson, an American Baptist missionary who spent over 30 years in Burma (now Myanmar) in the early 19th century. Written by A.D. Gillette and first published in 1851, the book chronicles Judson's journey from his early days as a Congregationalist minister to his conversion to Baptist beliefs and subsequent missionary work in Burma.

Throughout the book, Gillette emphasizes Judson's unwavering faith and dedication to his mission, despite the many challenges and hardships he faced.
