It's a story about the young Hudson Taylor, the reckless, devoted, loving, crazy, humble, faithful, heroic, generous and romantic Hudson Taylor. He had a passion for Chinese people that transcended class, nationality, religious and church customs and most rational people. A well-done biography of this extraordinary couple. Hudson Taylor was one of the first missionaries to China that advocated living like the Chinese. He wore his hair in the Chinese style and wore traditional Chinese clothes. His wife, Maria, went with him and served until her health failed. She died not long after they arrived. With lively text and details, the author does a fine job of exploring and explaining the relationship and mission of this Godly couple. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The story of Hudson Taylor is one of adventure and excitement - of improbable answers to prayer, opposition from the establishment and triumphs of faith. Even more interesting is the story of the relationship at the heart of it all - the story of Hudson and Maria Taylor. There are few love stories as enchanting as that of Hudson Taylor, the pioneering missionary, and Maria Dyer. Their relationship and short marriage flourished in the bitterest of circumstances because their lives were firmly rooted in their devotion to God, as well as to each other. They were a perfect match, (though not perfect people), a couple who show us how to share our lives at the deepest level. John Pollock draws his material extensively from original letters and papers. What unfolds is a picture of courage and adventure in Imperial China, a lost world of pigtails, Mandarins and dragon-roofed temples. It also shows how Maria played a crucial role in shaping the ministry of a Yorkshire lad who, against oriental and western opposition, changed the way that missionaries work.
