Description
'Few men have been used to touch China for God as Hudson Taylor was. The principles of simple lifestyle, well-reasoned obedience, confident prayer and patient endurance so clearly described in this story compel us to examine afresh what it means to be a man in Christ.'
Billy Graham
Hudson Taylor was only 21 years old when he sailed from England, never expecting to see home and family again. In this strange land, backed only by an unreliable mission society thousands of miles away, he set out to share the gospel with the Chinese. By the time he died aged 73, he had travelled to China eleven times, over eighteen thousand Chinese Christians had been baptised, and the mission he founded was the largest in China.
"This is the story of discipleship and the guts, passion, love and sacrifice that are involved in following Jesus. Allied to this are the generous helpings of wisdom, initiative and vision that made Hudson Taylor a spiritual "great.""
