Hudson survived his perilous maiden voyage to his beloved China.

This review is from: Hudson Taylor: Deep in the Heart of China (Christian Heroes: Then & Now) (Paperback)

An adventure story about an early unconventional missionary!!This is a great read aloud book for older elementary age children and up. Although the setting is middle 1800s, the lessons are timeless. A great way to teach your children the difficulties faced by early missionaries, (5 1/2 dangerous months at sea just to get to China) and their complete reliance upon God to surmount seemingly impossible challenges. Although Taylor's faith is great, even he is surprised by the continual rescues and provisions that are clearly God orchestrated. My children thought it started slowly, but got more exciting when he finally reached China! Even adults will enjoy listening. I highly recommend it.

This was one of the most inspiring books I have read. Hudson Taylor is lost in sin and himself like we all are and the Lord reveals Himself to Hudson... What does Hudson do with this revelation? What do we do when Christ is revealed to us... Learn how to become a man or woman after Gods own heart through Hudson's story. You will be blessed.
