It is difficult to over-estimate just how remarkable Jennie Taylor was. Against the backdrop of the considerable societal restraints placed on Victiorian women, this easy-going yet adventurous woman was prepared to follow Gods call, becoming a true pioneer on the mission field in China.
In the name of the gospel, Jennie led a party of women hundreds of miles further into inland China than any other western woman had gone before, and founded and ran two schools. She survived two typhoons, cholera, near death in childbirth, and coped with the administration of the China Inland Mission whilst enduring long periods away from her husband James Hudson Taylor.
In Jennie Hudson Taylor, Marion Osgood brings Jennie out of the shadows of her more well-known husband James Hudson Taylor, providing an eye-opening biography of this amazing missionary pioneer and woman of faith, and reveals the outstanding contribution Jennie made to the gospel through the China Inland Mission.
