About the Author

Dr. Howard Taylor was the son of renowned missionary Hudson Taylor, the founder of the China Inland Mission. Dr. Taylor and his wife, Geraldine, took up the challenging but rewarding task of writing his famous father's biography. In the foreword to one of their books on Hudson Taylor, they wrote, "The desire of the writers is to make available to busy people the experiences of their beloved father--thankful for the blessing brought to their own lives by what he was, and what he found in God, no less than by his fruitful labours."For more info, check this link http://www.apologetics.fsnet.co.uk/biog.htm

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and a testimony of God working in men., October 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Spiritual Secret Of Hudson Taylor (Paperback)

A book for missionaries, which indeed we all are for Christ. This is a thrilling true story of one man's relationship to our Lord and what his life becomes in service to Him. All those who have dedicated their lives to Christ can learn a lot about living out the faith and what God can do when you put your entire being into His loving hands. What this man, Hudson Taylor, does in China, we have assurance that God also wants to do in our lives even right where we are. A blessing for the indivual reader, and subsequently for those around, affected by the ministry inspired.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book, October 30, 2001

This review is from: Spiritual Secret Of Hudson Taylor (Paperback)

I read this book and found it inspiring and helpful. I particularly found the secret that Hudson Taylor speaks of relevant to transforming and deepening immensely my own walk with God. Not only I, but years ago my father's life was dramatically changed as he was inspired to have faith in the God who took care of Hudson Taylor as a missionary in China. After reading this book my father was able to put confidence in the Lord to take care of him as he stepped out into full time Christian service. (Hudson Taylor relied on God to provide for all of his needs and would not tell others what his financial needs were. God was faithful to meet all of Taylor's needs as well as the missionary society he founded. But there is far more in this book than that).

If you are looking for a deeper, intimate walk with God then read this book. Or if you struggle with living faithfully, joyfully and consistently for the Lord then read this book. The spiritual transformation that occured to Hudson Taylor took place after years of service on the mission field. Many Christians, like Hudson Taylor did, will benefit to find the secret of that transformation. I did.

This review is from: Spiritual Secret Of Hudson Taylor (Paperback)

This book was powerful. It was well-written and captured the pioneering spirit of Hudson Taylor. I also appreciated how this autobiography captured firsthand the impressions that Dr. Taylor made on others. This book was truly inspiring - especially the sections where it chronicles Taylor's inner struggles of finding his joy and sufficiency in Christ, the many instances when God answered his prayers during times of his greatest need, and his devotion to his family.
