A. J. Broomhall Hudson Taylor & China's Open Century (book 6) Assault on the Nine
0340426292 / 9780340426296 Softcover Used - very good
The most definitive biography of Hudson Taylor is the James Broomhall, Hudson Taylor and China's Open Century, in 7 volumes (1981-1989) - A truly stunning Work! Book 1 - Barbarians at the Gates Book 2 - Over the Treaty Wall Book 3 - If I Had a Thousand Lives Book 4 - Survivor's Pact Book 5 - Refiner's Fire Book 6 - Assault on the Nine Book 7 - It is not Death to Die The sixth volume starts with Hudson Taylor, still half paralysed by an accident and burdened with the desire to reach all China for Christ, beginning to see his plans fulfilled: the volunteers to reach nine vast provinces, with over one hundred and fifty million inhabitants, are selected. No sooner were the first eighteen ready to travel than the murder of a British consular offical and the ensuing court intrigues jeapardises their carefully laid plans. This was an unlikely start for what were to prove the most dramatic ten years of expansion for the China Inland Mission. The frontiers recede; the work grows; the first women missionaries are commissioned; schools are started; countless Chinese colleagues prove the key to advance in the work for which, in 1887, the future seems bright and full of promise. 539 pages

A.J. Broomhall Hudson Taylor and China's Open Century Book 1 - Barbarians at the Gates
OMF Books 0340262109 / 9780340262108 Softcover Used, good condition
The most definitive biography of Hudson Taylor is the James Broomhall, Hudson Taylor and China's Open Century, in 7 volumes (1981-1989) - A truly stunning Work! Book 1 - Barbarians at the Gates Book 2 - Over the Treaty Wall Book 3 - If I Had a Thousand Lives Book 4 - Survivor's Pact Book 5 - Refiner's Fire Book 6 - Assault on the Nine Book 7 - It is not Death to Die The first volume deals with the events in China that preceded and set the stage for Hudson Taylor's work. This book is important precisely because it is not about Hudson Taylor. There are lots of books about Hudson Taylor. But a study of his life and work can sometimes be misleading if one does not have some grasp of the work that preceded. In the twenty-five years that Robert Morrison spent in China, he had about 10 converts. Not much of an accomplishment, perhaps, but in that same time he translated the Bible into Chinese, and that at a time when it was a serious offense to teach Chinese to a foreigner. Much of his work had to be done in secret. In addition to this, Robert Morrison had to support himself by working for the British East India Company. One can ponder long and hard about what could possibly motivate any man to endure the loneliness of the life he lived. It is either some bizarre insanity, or an absolute commitment to the purpose for which he believed God had put him in China. Only the ignorant would belittle Morrison's contribution to modern missions, or to the eventual demise of the centuries old emperor system which somehow could not survive the freedom of thought which was ushered in by Morrison's translation of the scripture. 256 pages - Stunning!
