Hudson Taylor

About this book

Hudson Taylor was as a nineteenth century missionary to China and founder of the China Inland Mission. He did these things by faith, trusting only God for all temporal supplies for himself, his family, and more than eight hundred missionaries that joined him in more than fifty years of Gospel labor. While these are impressive numbers, Hudson Taylor was first and foremost a child of God, constantly growing in his faith. One of Taylor's greatest gifts to posterity is the transparency with which he wrote about life challenges and his own faith journey. This book contains story after real-life story of walking ever more closely with God, each demonstrating His reality and the truth of His Word.From the author's foreword, "There can be no doubt but that Hudson Taylor's acts have helped to mould men's minds, and have given an impulse to missionary activity and methods.... And there can be no question as to the great idea with which he was possessed, and to which he attached himself. His life was dominated from first to last by his conviction as to the utter faithfulness of God. It is for this reason that the title of this little book has been called: Hudson Taylor: The Man who believed God."Originally published in 1929, this Christian classic has been refreshed in order to present the encouragement of Hudson Taylor's faith in God to a new audience. Author Marshall Broomhall, a nephew to Hudson Taylor, was himself a missionary in China, and later became the editorial secretary for the China Inland Mission.About the Scripture Testimony EditionWalking Together Press has enhanced this classic title by identifying and marking portions of the narrative that illustrate specific Biblical topics and verses.
