Judson was a 19th century American missionary to Burma and his story is amazing and heartbreaking at the same time.</p>
<p>Courtney Anderson&#8217;s biography of Judson doesn&#8217;t shy away from describing the emotional and spiritual toll Judson paid to bring the gospel to Burma. I appreciated the honesty. If you&#8217;re wondering what biography you ought to read next you&#8217;d do well to pick up this one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love biographies. I&#8217;m especially fond of biographies of Christian missionaries and pastors. I knew of Hudson Taylor and his work in China in the 19th century, but I had yet to read anything about him; until this week.</p>
<p>My wife recommended I read a brief account of Hudson and Maria Taylor&#8217;s marriage and ministry. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1857922239/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=ryanwentze-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399349&amp;creativeASIN=1857922239">Hudson Taylor &amp; Maria: A Match Made in Heaven</a> is a quick read and gives the reader a glimpse into the Taylors&#8217; faith in a wise and sovereign God as they labored to spread the gospel throughout inland China.</p>
<p>Pick up a copy. You won&#8217;t be disappointed.</p>
