There are few love stories as enchanting as that of Hudson Taylor, the pioneering missionary, and Maria The story of Hudson Taylor is one of adventure and excitement - of improbable answers to prayer, opposition from the establishment and triumphs of faith. 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 peoplea 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 Hudson Taylor and Maria in shaping the ministry of a Yorkshire lad who, against oriental and western Hudson Taylor and Maria, changed the way that missionaries work.

There are better biographies that include some details of this romance. It works better when it's woven into the story about the mission work rather than separately recounted.

No one could have accused Hudson and Maria Taylor of living dull lives they were accused of many other things. The same could be said for every missionary I know of.

They aren't missionaries for the sake of adventure, but it does come with the territory.

He thought of the million people in China, and "he imagined them walking past him, hour after hour, day after day, month after month, taking, he reckoned over twenty-three years.

I read a new edition of this classic published by OMF this edition not on Goodreads. Although heavy going at times, this book provides a fascinating glimpse of their romance and subsequent marriage. Although this book is heartbreaking at times, it is well worth a read; the ending in particular made me very thankful for my own husband and the happiness we share. One of the best missionary biographies I have read so far. Hudson Taylor and Maria recommended. Mar 05, Malia rated it really liked it Shelves: christianbiography.

Even in modern-day missions, we tend to bring our culture with our evangelism. Whether this be "worn" by a style of worship Hudson Taylor and Maria a type of church building, the message Hudson Taylor and Maria clear to the natives: Christianity is a foreign religion if it must adhere to foreign customs. Having this biography written by a non-related, third party gave an excellent perspective of Hudson Taylor. He was described as sickly and frail. Others were surprised that he would lead a mission movement. Yet, he so obviously followed God that others were drawn to him and committed to being on his team. Maria was an exemplary wife. She was of a higher class and better educated, but she didn't look down on her husband but rather lifted him up in society and in their own family as head of the household. She also had a peace and stability that was easily noticed; she was strong for Hudson and their children, a reliable and faithful wife and mother. Hudson let nothing sway him from following God wholeheartedly. Even when his reputation was threatened, he continued Hudson Taylor and Maria work and didn't fight the rumors. He knew what mattered and what would eventually be sorted out. Taylor's exposition of the Lord's Prayer can sum up the way he lived: he emphasized "that personal petitions take second place, 'Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done' precedes 'Give us Forgive us In reality, he is a man submissive to Christ's leading and passionate about obedience, righteousness, and compassion. We should all look to him as an example to follow- -not just as a hero to praise. Jan 26, Ryan Rindels rated it liked it.

  • Lives Worth Imitating – Hudson Taylor September 1, 2019
    Lives Worth Imitating – Hudson Taylor September 1, 2019 This morning I want to explore the life of one Hudson Taylor. Most people I have mentioned his name to this past week have never heard of him. Hopefully you won’t be able to say that again after today. Hudson Taylor and the word, China, should always go hand in hand. His mother and father were fascinated with China, although they lived in England. When Hudson’s mother became pregnant, his parents prayed that God would raise him up to be a missionary to the Chinese. And when Hudson was only 4 years old he declared his intent to grow up and do just that. • Hudson Taylor was born on May 21, 1832 to James and Amelia Taylor who were devout Methodists. His father was a chemist and a local Methodist preacher. • Hudson was sold out to God at age 17. (But it came in a dramatic and creative way) When Hudson was 15 years old he started working as a junior clerk at one of the local banks. The fellow employees were quite worldly in their lifestyles and ridiculed Taylor’s views on God, which led him to question his conservative Christian upbringing. Over time, he adopted their perspective and concluded that he could live his life anyway he wanted, because there was no God to whom he must answer. Shortly after that he developed an eye infection which forced him to quit working at the bank and go to work for his father. His father became quite irritated by Taylor’s moodiness, but his mother looked deeper and was concerned with his spiritual condition and began praying for him to return to the Lord.

  • Hudson Taylor and China Inland Mission
    Real Life Stories James Hudson Taylor James Hudson Taylor was born at Barnsley, Yorkshire, England, May 21, 1832, and died at Changsha, China, June 3, 1905. His father was a very capable Methodist preacher, and his mother had a sweet and patient spirit. Hudson Taylor was blessed in that he was the combination of the ability of his father and the gentle disposition of his mother. He was converted through the reading of a tract at the age of fifteen, and not long afterward passed through a remarkable experience, at which time he dedicated himself to God for whatever service might be appointed. Unknown to himself, his father, who had been deeply interested in China, had prayed that his son might go to that land as a missionary. Very early, through the reading of Walter Henry Medhurst's China (London 1838), the Lord, answering the prayers of his father, the Taiping Rebellion, and the workings of the Holy Spirit, the thoughts of Hudson were directed to that country. Hudson left for China on September 19, 1853, and from 1854 to 1860 his time was spent in Shanghai, Swatow, and Ningpo, working sometimes in company with older missionaries of other societies and especially with William Chalmers Bums of the English Presbyterian Mission. In time he became an independent worker, trusting God to supply his need. His experiences of God's faithfulness in meeting his own personal needs and the needs of a hospital at Ningpo, of which he had taken charge, had much to do with the founding of China Inland Mission.

  • Female Missionaries in Colonial Singapore Have Made Their Mark In
    BIBLIOASIA JAN – MAR 2018 Vol. 13 / Issue 04 / Feature Nineteenth-century Singapore was a thriv- ing centre of commerce that held much promise. Soon after the British estab- lished a trading post in 1819, Singapore’s status as a free port and great emporium grew, attracting many who were drawn to the economic opportunities the island offered. Besides workers and merchants, the settlement also attracted Christian missionaries from the West who saw an opportunity to spread their message “among heathen and other unenlightened nations”1 in Asia. As early as 1820, missionary socie- ties of various denominations began to dispatch their representatives to sow the seeds of the Christian faith in Singapore. The Protestants were among the earli- est to arrive, establishing churches and printing presses, and evangelising through preaching on the streets and home visits.

  • Churches and Missions in Penang, Melaka and Singapore from 1786-1842 John Roxborogh (1990)
    Early nineteenth-century foundations of Christianity in Malaya: Churches and missions in Penang, Melaka and Singapore from 1786-1842 John Roxborogh (1990) 1. INTRODUCTION Today Christianity in Malaysia and Singapore seeks an identity which is true to its own energy and cultures at the same time as it is conscious of its participation in a universal faith. It is also important that it be aware of its own history. While associations with the British period have now faded, it remains nevertheless an era worthy of study, just as the nature of that association still requires examination. The years between the arrival of the British in Penang and the signing of the Treaty of Nanking cover a time when British interests in the region developed but did not yet extend beyond the Straits Settlements. It was no accident that this was also a period of Christian expansion, yet the links were on the whole indirect. For the churches, it was a time when if seldom at government direction, then at least under a British umbrella, a new influx of missionary interest both took root and lost impetus. Such an influx was not to be repeated until later in the century and again in the 1950s, and in any case much of the core of modern Christianity in the end derives as much from migrant Christian communities as from the work of missionaries in Malaya. Nevertheless the diversification and growth of the church during the early 19th century was not insignificant. What began as a sleepy community of Catholic Portuguese, over a period of 60 years came to encompass other races and at least some other denominations.

  • Women Who Knew God’ for the First Week; and the Women from Mount Carmel Will Share Their Thoughts About ‘Men of Faith’ in the Second Week
    DAY 1 | Introduction to the Series Opening Song All I’ve Ever Done https://youtu.be/owlQlLyN4W0 Scripture: Selected Scripture texts ​ Women The Bible contains both descriptive and prescriptive text. Much of our direct understanding comes from God’s prescriptions for victorious living. However, historical narratives are essential for our learning. Especially in the Old Testament, there are Bible characters whose lives parallel our modern-day behaviours and circumstances — we are all Adam’s children. In this series, the men from Mount Carmel will share their thoughts about ‘Women Who Knew God’ for the first week; and the women from Mount Carmel will share their thoughts about ‘Men of Faith’ in the second week. God’s Virtuous Women God created the mystical, splendid and diverse complementary nature in men and women. Men and women are created “in the image of God”, and their place in Christ abolishes any subordination of either to the other. Yet, because they are complementary, they cannot be identified one as the other. Here are some notable women and their faith. Mother of Three Nation-builders (Num 26:59) ​ ​ ​ Jochebed was the mother of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. She passed on three traits to them: They didn’t forget their identity as God’s children during difficult times, did not follow Egypt’s gods and they had great compassion for others. Wise Girl Beyond her Age (Exo 2:1-10) ​ ​ ​ Miriam was Moses’ sister. After her mother, Jochebed, nursed Moses for 3 months, she had to send him away as she couldn’t hide him from Pharaoh’s decree to kill every Hebrew baby.

The late John Pollock, an award-winning biographer, had a flair for telling a dramatic story. Hudson was not a man with a pedigree. Their passion for the lost and hardy endurance were necessary in a time when traveling conditions were constantly dangerous, children frequently died Only a few of the 8 children born lived to adulthood and there was little repose from work. I can identify with this, and I think many parents can as well. Her mother, Mary Tarn Dyer, married fellow missionary J. Bausum in and remained in Penang. It is, in part, a love story. When they first learned of looming danger, it was proposed that the women and children go elsewhere to safety. The sheer simplicity of Hudson's faith is inspirational and challenging. Readers also enjoyed. The arrival of the largest party of missionaries ever sent to China — as well as their intent to be dressed in native clothing — gave the foreign settlement in Shanghai much to talk about and some criticism began for the young China Inland Mission.
