About this book

Prayer supplies the thread that James Hudson Taylor uses to connect his early beliefs, preparation for service, and missionary work in China. In A Retrospect, he recalls his parents’ influence, his youthful doubts, and the religious reading that changed his outlook. The account grew partly from addresses to fellow missionaries, giving its recollections the direct voice of someone explaining the convictions behind his decisions.

Chapters move through life in London, the voyage to China, early preaching, and the formation of the China Inland Mission. The practical setting is often vivid: boats serve as bases, tea shops become meeting places, and books pass from missionaries to listeners. A tense nighttime episode shows local helpers moving the boats after threats from men demanding payment.
