Howard Taylor (1862–1946)

This book challenges the reader to emulate Hudson Taylor's life without falling prey to worshiping the man himself. His problems, such as illness, the loss of a child and later his wife and newborn son to cholera, an injury that leaves him paralyzed for almost a year, all show sides of him, including his struggles with doubts and fears. However, Hudson Taylor pushes on in the Lord's strength and grace, serving God and making a difference on the mission field.

Hudson Taylor was a missionary to china, at age 17 he decided that he was going to be a missionary to china so he started to prepare himself for missionary word slept on the floor, gave up milk and butter etc Great life of a man of God

There is something to be said for the girl who keeps everything! I found the book report I wrote about this when I was in school. I seemed to have liked the book but then again, I may just have been buttering up the teacher. How about this line: "If I apply patience to my life, I can be patient in waiting for school be out". Hudson Taylor was a patient man. I got an A on the report, BTW.

Christian - 21/2 stars. He felt this book was more for an adult than a child.

Julia-3 stars

I really liked this book especially when we read Hudson Taylor's personal writings/letters throughout the book. His thoughts on paper are steeped in scripture and love for Christ.

I also liked how this story was not just about Hudson Taylor but his godly wife. At times, the book was very detailed in describing things, but I didn't mind that. I loved this biography.
