J. Hudson Taylor was one of the most successful Christian
missionaries in China during the 19th century - this is his story,
in his own words, with his own photographs. Choosing to focus on
life as a gifted and diligent mission worker, Taylor spends only
little time on his formative years. He describes his upbringing in
but a few paragraphs, stating that it was his father's interest in
China - a vast yet undeveloped faraway land - which inspired him to
become a missionary. The education he had in medicine accompanied
his Christian learning; at the time, missionaries with medical
skill were both necessary and in shortage. Over thirty drawings and
photographs, plus one lengthy piece of sheet music, form part of
this autobiography. The reader is immersed in the culture of rural
China as it was in the mid and late 19th century, with temples and
architecture contrasting deeply with the Western world. J. Hudson
Taylor makes headway in the land, with many rural Chinese
converting to Christianity.
