What An Incredibly Great Man!

This is a well written book about a great man. What more can I say! I was in awe of what that man did in his lifetime. A "must read" for every Christian!

A MUST READ!!

An exciting biography of how God can work in the life of a committed person. It will certainly redefine the word sacrifice for you.

An Inspiration, and a guide

I thank God for having allowed me to read this book and strongly urge you to read it as well! Many times I remember tears gently flowing out of my eyes as I could see God through this wonderful testimony which exhorted me, encouraged me, and led me. I strongly believe that it was God's seal of approval upon this man's life that made such a book be printed. I am praying to translate this book into Spanish as I hope many more will also have the opportunity of reading such LIFE of the Gospel. In Christ, J. Hernandez mussio2@hotmail.com

This is a story about a man who changed lives

I read this book with tears. Sometimes, the emotional impact was so much that I had to stop reading and pull myself out of it. James Hudson Taylor was one of the first missionaries who were willing to identify themselves with Chinese people, just as Jesus identify Himself with human. The author described honestly about Mr. Taylor's stregths and weaknesses, successes and mistakes, and his spiritual journey with God. A worth to ready biography.
