PROBLEM: How to aspire to or have more effective service or missionary effort for God
One of the best ways to learn is by following the example of another. So, if you want to learn about being a missionary, read this book about Hudson Taylor. He set a wonderful example as he individually evangelized, and then as the leader of the China Inland Mission reached out to the people he loved so much, the Chinese. Through trials and sickness, loss of children and wives, many times in physical danger, Hudson Taylor continued to abundantly serve Jesus and his fellow man.
Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret tells how Hudson Taylor was very fruitful for God in opening China up to the gospel. HOWEVER, THE OVERRIDING PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK IS TO INSPIRE IN THE READER A DESIRE TO ABIDE IN JESUS. To continually drink from Him and have all thirsts and needs met by Him so that a river of life flows from you (John 7:37-38).
So, read this book, and follow Hudson Taylor’s example and drink deeply from Jesus. When a river of Life is flowing from you and Jesus Christ is everything to you, how can you NOT be fruitful in ministry and missionary work?
This book is especially helpful for you, if you feel burdened down from the difficulties and responsibility of Christian leadership.
