From the Back Cover

HUDSON TAYLOR'S SPIRITUAL SECRET

You many be unfamiliar with the spiritual magnitude of Hudson Taylor, a great and godly man who was a pioneer missionary to China. That's why this classic biography has been revised to make it accessible to today's reader. You will be amazed at the relevance of this man's life as you see how effectively he modeled the integration of truth, faith, humility, and obedience. His secret of the "exchanged life," and his profound dependence on the Lord for every need, must be discovered by a new generation.

Physician, evangelist, administrator, visionary, compassionate husband and father--Hudson Taylor filled all these roles, and more. He left a lasting mark on the great country of China, and few in the history of the Chinese church have accomplished so much with so little.

Hudson Taylor's life exemplifies how to wholly trust God because God is indeed enough. That was the "secret" by which he lived and it can be yours as well.
