Hudson Taylor: An Adventure Begins, by Catherine MacKenzie

(Paperback, 176 pages, first published in 2014)

Hudson Taylor was a sickly child. He was often ill and had very poor eyesight. But God chose him to evangelize to the Chinese. So at the age of twenty-one, Hudson Taylor left the United Kingdom to sail half way round the world to China. Why did he do this? He did it to tell the Chinese people about the good news of Jesus Christ and to give them a message of hope. This story covers Hudson's childhood and traumatic teenage years as well as his life as a well-known pioneer missionary.
