My second favorite biography...right after David Livingstone.

[Bo · Rating 3 out of 5]

A brief overview of Hudson Taylor's life, that would give children an introduction to him. Easy to read, and illustrations on every page. However, I didn't think the illustrations were very well done. Sometimes the children looked kind of goofy, and the people tended to look very similar to others in the book.

An amazing man, who was committed to serving the Lord, no matter what. He endured a number of personal sorrows during his lifetime, but didn't waver in his commitment to serve the Lord. A great example for each of us, including our children and/or grandchildren.

I would give this 3 1/2 stars, if I could.

Overall good!

Page 58: “Was it fair to make his landlady suffer because he wanted to practice believing God?”
He decided he WAS justified in making her suffer to (in my opinion) put the Lord his God to the test by NOT reminding his doctor boss to pay him, even though his doctor boss SPECIFICALLY told him to remind him to pay him. It was HIS job to remind his boss when his paycheck was due, and he just didn’t do that.

Mostly focuses on getting his wife, having kids with his wife, his wife and kids dying, immediately getting a new wife. Etc

Great simple book for a younger reader. Recently finished Hudson Taylor’s autobiography and I enjoyed reading more about his life in this short book. What an inspiring man he was! I would recommend this book to all readers but particularly younger ones as the writing is geared toward them.

This was a great children’s version of Hudson Taylor’s story. I do prefer Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret better but I used this as a read along for my younger kids. Hudson’s story was so impactful on my spiritual walk that he is my son’s namesake. One of the greats!

Good book. I had never heard of him. He was a true Christian.

Story of a faithful man with an amazing God.

[Camryn · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is about Hudson Taylor and his mission to share God's word. He ventured to China and created the Inland China Mission.

[Arwen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cheep and cheesy children’s illustrated reader about the first Christian missionary to inland China. It only gets a “liked it” because Hudson Taylor is one of my Christian heros. Both the writing and illustrations are poorly done, but it gets across the main points of his life and service, and would be a good introduction to missions themes for a young child.

I read this book a long time ago. I don't really remember when. It is good though.
