A Retrospect
About this book
Hudson Taylor's own account of the years that led to the China Inland Mission — his conversion and call, the voyage to China, and the answered prayers and hard providences through which the work took shape. Written near the end of his life, it is the source of many of the sayings the mission's founder is remembered by.
Much of the material was taken from notes of addresses given in China during a conference of our missionaries; this will account for the direct and narrative form of the papers, which it has not been thought necessary to change.
