Hudson Taylor

More than any other modern man, Hudson Taylor is the pattern by which the missionary is measured. Few who read this account of how Hudson Taylor learned to trust God first for a half crown and eventually for one thousand new missionaries can remain content with the current state of their own faith. "Hudson Taylor is not remembered today as the strategist who almost singlehandedly brought about a revolutionary change in the missionary situation in China one hundred years ago, but rather as a man of God. What abide are the fragrance and influence of his life." So wrote Arthur Glasser, former home director for the USA and Canada of the Overseas Missionary Fellowship. - Back cover.
