Hudson Taylor Spiritual Secret


I don’t know how many of you have read Hudson Taylor Spiritual Secret, but it is an excellent account of the life of the man that started our organization in 1865.  He was the first to take missionaries (especially female missionaries) and the Gospel to inland China. He was one of the first missionaries to take on traditional Chinese dress in order to not allow clothing to distract from his ministry.  I recently listened to the audio book from http://christianaudio.com/
I was struck by how much suffering Taylor went through and yet was able to depend on the Lord and continue in His service.  He lost both children and a wife in China. Now-a-day’s missionaries don’t seem to have nearly as much suffering as our predecessors.
