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.

The sacrificed life of a faithful follower of Jesus Christ.

Wow!! The sacrifices H. Taylor made to serve his King, Jesus Christ, makes most faithful Christians today look as if we’re living in a wealthy vacation resort. He was a great an example of living fully dependent on God to meet all of his needs. His heart for China is both touching and convicting. Every Christian could learn true, faithful living and humble service by becoming acquainted with Hudson Taylor.

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.

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.

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.
