Review Quotes: "Vance Christie has written an excellent biography of one of the greatest missionaries of all time. His lively style captures the drama, the danger, and the dedication of this "little" man whose faith in God enabled him to accomplish so much. Readers of all ages will be enthralled by the story of God's remarkable work in and through Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission, which Chinese Christians today gladly acknowledge as essential to the growth of perhaps the largest church on earth."--G.
