Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret (Dr. Howard Taylor and Mrs. Howard Taylor)

Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret

A spiritual biography of the “father of modern missions,” Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret poses one question: What empowered Hudson Taylor’s ministry in China? 

The answer is unfolded in these pages. Written by Taylor’s son and daughter-in-law, it shows us a man with fierce faith who believed that God truly would fuflill all He promises in Scripture.

For Christians longing for the inward joy and power that Hudson Taylor had, they can find the secret to it here. The secret, it turns out, is available to any who call on Christ’s name.

“An easy, non-self-denying life will never be one of power,” Taylor said. “Fruit-bearing involves cross-bearing. There are not two Christs—an easygoing one for easygoing Christians, and a suffering, toiling one for exceptional believers. There is only one Christ. Are you willing to abide in Him, and thus to bear much fruit?”
