J. Hudson Taylor by J Hudson Taylor

James Hudson Taylor (1832-1905), was a British Protestant Christian missionary to China, and founder of the China Inland Mission. The society that he began was responsible for bringing over 800 missionaries to the country who began 125 schools and directly resulted in 18,000 Christian conversions, as well as the establishment of more than 300 stations of work with more than 500 local helpers in all eighteen provinces. He wrote a book called China's Spiritual Need and Claims in 1865 which was instrumental in generating sympathy for China and volunteers for the mission field, who began to go out in 1862. Taylor was known for his sensitivity to Chinese culture and zeal for evangelism. He adopted wearing native Chinese clothing even though this was rare among missionaries of that time. Under his leadership, the CIM was singularly nondenominational in practice and accepted members from all Protestant groups, including individuals from the working class and single women as well as multinational recruits. Primarily because of the CIM's campaign against the Opium trade, Taylor has been referred to as one of the most significant Europeans to visit China in the 19th Century. In this book, Taylor tells his own story--from his call to the mission field through his early mission experiences--In Retrospect.

J. Hudson Taylor (1832-1905), a pioneer missionary to China, had a life that illustrated the joys of relationship with Christ. He is recognized with translating the New Testament into a Chinese dialect and founded the China Inland Mission. His unwavering determination to bring the Gospel to the Chinese allowed him to persevere through the long and grueling journey, continual persecution, poverty, and nearly insurmountable cultural and linguistic obstacles. His words serve as a challenge and encouragement to today's Christians from a man who willingly allowed himself to be used by God.
