Publisher's summary

Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) was one of the greatest, most effective Christian missionaries in the past several centuries, and changed the nation of China forever for the glory of God. He lived a life of extreme sacrifice and spent many years suffering for souls.

In this autobiography, he shares his journey from giving away every last penny, and even refusing financial support in order to test his faith in the Lord, to pioneering the China Inland Mission, a ministry that impacted countless souls. He chronicles his epic journey and harrowing situations, such as being forced to sleep on the streets in rural China, unable to sleep as thieves slinked through the darkness and reached into his pockets all throughout the night.

He constantly and purposefully put himself in situations where if God did not come through for him, he was doomed. Hudson believed that if his service to the Lord did not involved sacrifice, it was a weak offering, and he lived it every single day.

This is not just a book, this is an experience that will call you deeper into a relationship with God, and to stretch yourself beyond what you ever thought possible.

Included in this book is a personal letter from Hudson Taylor to his beloved sister Amelia, giving some incredible insight on faith, and a sermon he preached in Carnegie Hall in New York City in the year 1900, titled "The Source of Power."

A real blessing

It has been a real blessing to listen to this first person account. Good to be reminded that true power has been given to us, not for our own glory but for Jesus's.
