From the Back Cover
"Then go for me to China!" He heard God's call and did not hesitate to fulfill it. Through many harrowing trials and tests of his faith, Hudson Taylor followed God and relied on Him only. Even when all around him seemed to be crumbling--when fellow missionaries died, funds were short, and friends were arrested--he held fast to his Rock and his Comfort. And when God miraculously supplied a mate, food, medicine, and salvation to the lost, he gave all the praise and thanks to Him.Read the amazing tale of a man who depended on Christ for everything and followed God to the other side of the globe. From Hudson Taylor's experiences, you will discover how you, too, can overcome hardships, witness miracles, and enjoy a life of contagious faith and joy!

3.0 out of 5 starsLess abridged versions tell the story better

I am a great fan of both James Hudson Taylor and his official authors Dr.& Mrs Howard Taylor. However, I found this edition frustrating and disappointing. It is not made apparent on the covers or the publisher pages that this is a very cut-down version of the original biography. Inside the story, though, the omissions become evident (e.g. in the footnote on page 118). Having been hugely inspired by a longer version by the same authors of the same biography in the past, I advise the reader to note the warning implicit in the expression 'Mass Market Paperback'. Hudson Taylor remains in my estimation a spiritual giant, and an adult version of his story needs more pages than this edition supplies.

A great read and on Amazon I got it second hand for such a low price, plus postage of course. It is written in an easy to read fashion and is very interesting. What a challenging life Hudson Taylor led, yet the Lord was with him.
Lots to learn from the life of this famous missionary. I'm glad he finally came to understating of the gospel later on in life and stopped being performance-centred as in his early days.
5.0 out of 5 starsHudson Taylor's love for the Lord Jesus

This book should be a compulsory read for all Christians. Hudson Taylor's love for the Lord Jesus, his depth of commitment and how he entered in to God's rest (Heb 4) moved me tremendously.
