Customer Reviews

A thorough intro to the life of an authentic Christian

Mr. Broomhall drew on a vast repository of information to begin his biography covering 6 or 7 volumes. Today's reader will learn many things about the China of centuries past, particularly the days of this British missionary who went to China before the time of the US Civil War. Broomhall puts in the facts, drawing our attention to the praying family and the life of prayer which prepared J. Hudson Taylor to follow God and live by faith, not by depending on the support of men or church organizations, yet with the eventual respect of those who once ridiculed him. A humble, courageous and very real person -- J. Hudson Taylor is not romanticized, in my opinion, by Mr. Broomhall. I have read volumes 1-4 of this biography, more than once.
