Hudson Taylor: In Early Years- The Growth of a Soul

I'm trying to go back and rate some of my favorites from years past and get some good nonfiction books on my shelves! This book is not an easy read by any means...over 1000 pages with both volumes...but it is rewarding. I do think the first volume is a little more interesting, but I did persevere and I did finish! I would suggest reading only a chapter or two a day after your quiet time and simply planning for it to take a while.

This is a top-notch missionary biography. I do have to say, my hands-down favorite story was about how he had wandered from his faith in young manhood, and his little sister's constant and dedicated prayers were used to bring him back to a triumphant faith. :)
