Publisher's summary

Hudson Taylor is one of the most remarkable of Christianity's heroes. A gawky, determined Yorkshire boy of commonplace origins, mediocre education, and uncertain health, Hudson Taylor lived in the assurance that under God's direction he would someday evangelize China's 400 million souls. Today he is remembered both as the founder of the world-famous China Inland Mission and one of history's great men of faith.

Hudson Taylor left England on September 19, 1853, and did not reach China until the spring of 1894. The long and arduous voyage, persecution, poverty, and the barriers of language and culture did not deter him from his mission. Throughout a life filled with trials of all sorts, Taylor remained confident in his knowledge of God's will and of his care, even in the shadow of death.

All glory to God

Here is a brief and blessed record of a man after whose footsteps I strive to walk. The seed is planted in China, and will prove the salvation of millions. The seed will also prove to crack the concrete of the Great Wall.

Excellent

Awesome book, really has helped me realize the importance of prayer in everything. Would definitely recommend this. Convicting for certain, am I really living for Christ, or just going through the motions?

Well worth hearing and heeding

A truly inspirational account of a true Christ follower. Listen and take to heart, Christian friend. His story urges me to go deeper into holiness and identification with our Lord.

Incomparable

Hudson Taylor is the father of modem missions for reason. His life is one that was dedicated solely for that purpose. He loved it and breathed it. There are few this devout. It humbles the reader in every way. Brilliant.

An Inspiration for Christians

What a full life, devoted to God, Hudson Taylor had. Through many trials, hard work, and love for the Chinese people, and love for his God he did many things.
Loved the narrator.
Since it was a British book, it fits that it was narrated with a British accent.
Well, done.

An excellent and challenging Book!

An excellent and challenging book . The reading is superb and the composition excellent. The life and faithfulness of Hudson Taylor are a great testimony to the magnificent God of the Bible and His faithfulness to His Word and to those who believe it.

Worthy and inspiring

Great read on a man of God who in his lifetime saw God bring the gospel to China. His endurance, conviction, simplicity and life are all worth emulating.

I feel like I know Hudson Taylor now!

Years ago when in my 20s, Bill Gothard recommend I read this book. I respect his thoughts and council, and have intended to honor his request for 30+ years now. Life ensued and I never made the time to read about the life of this great saint. The other day it came to mind to see if this account could be read to me as I went about my hectic days and evenings. I saw that it could through Audible...what joy I felt. That joy however paled in comparison to the content of the story read. Across the years a man and his family have spoken to me as though my peers today. Exactly the encouragement and teaching that I needed . How thankful I am, in fact I am starting over, this time to take notes. Thank you Audible!
