Summary
Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) was one of the greatest, most effective Christian missionaries in the past several centuries, and changed the nation of China forever for the glory of God. He lived a life of extreme sacrifice and spent many years suffering for souls.
In this autobiography, he shares his journey from giving away every last penny, and even refusing financial support in order to test his faith in the Lord, to pioneering the China Inland Mission, a ministry that impacted countless souls. He chronicles his epic journey and harrowing situations, such as being forced to sleep on the streets in rural China, unable to sleep as thieves slinked through the darkness and reached into his pockets all throughout the night.
He constantly and purposefully put himself in situations where if God did not come through for him, he was doomed. Hudson believed that if his service to the Lord did not involved sacrifice, it was a weak offering, and he lived it every single day.
This is not just a book, this is an experience that will call you deeper into a relationship with God, and to stretch yourself beyond what you ever thought possible.
Included in this book is a personal letter from Hudson Taylor to his beloved sister Amelia, giving some incredible insight on faith, and a sermon he preached in Carnegie Hall in New York City in the year 1900, titled "The Source of Power."

Inspiring and quotable
I would say if you've never come across Hudson Taylor before then you should probably start on one of the excellent biographies rather than this one (e.g. Roger Steer), but for those who already know the basics and the faithfulness of Hudson's life, this book is immensely challenging and quotable.
The book swings between descriptive stories covering the hardships of frontline mission (which any human could relate to) and awesome descriptions of the greatness of God alongside Taylor's developing understanding of it (which made me for one want to know God more in that way). I enjoyed it.
