While I liked the writing style of Benge (and I've read her other missionary stories) I am ambivalent about Hudson Taylor. While inspiring in some ways, I felt his risk taking was more testing God than trusting Him. His selflessness in reaching out to the people of China and his devotion to the Lord is admirable, yet he took enormous chances with not only his own life but the lives of his family (he lost several children b/c of disease, etc ramapant in the country) and those of his fellow workers. I found the other Janet Benge missionary stories to be more balanced. no reviews | add a review

Hudson survived his perilous maiden voyage to his beloved China. With his heart set in determined obedience to God, and trusting the provision of the One who had called, Hudson overcame persecution and almost overwhelming personal losses to bring to bring God's truth to the "ripe harvest fields" of China. Today, Hudson Taylor's story continues to challenge and inspire believers young and old to carry the anchoring gospel message, regardless of personal trial or hardships, to those who are adrift and without hope. Janet and Geoff Benge are a husband-and-wife writing team with more than twenty years of writing experience. Janet is a former elementary-school teacher. Geoff holds a degree in history. Originally from New Zealand, the Benges spent ten years serving with Youth With A Mission. No library descriptions found. |
