GOOD books - Biographies

Well, having mentioned the packing that I was doing has jinxed the good intentions as I have not packed or organized a single thing since... but I did start reading a VERY inspiring book: Pastor Hsi, Confucian Scholar and Christian by Mrs.Howard Taylor Whenever you feel in need of inspiration from those AMAZING examples of Christians/missionaries of the past to spur you on toward love and good deeds, I recommend reading these books: (all titles officially declared non-twaddle) Hudson Taylor in the Early Years - The Growth of a Soul vol.1(click for e-book: I can't believe I just found it readable ONLINE!! How lucky you all are! I had to search for an out of print copy back when I wanted to read it!! The second volume is on the same site) or buy from amazon: Hudson Taylor in Early Years: The Growth of a Soul - After all, it's only $100!!!! - HudsonTaylor and the China Inland Mission (e-book) and at amazon - Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission **NOTE: These 2 volumes are the ONLY biography of Hudson Taylor I recommend reading... to my knowledge and in my humble opinion it is by FAR the best, and probably the longest AND if you buy it from any of these links to amazon, I make 25 cents! - now that has got to make it worth it for you! heheheheh. I know you're all thinking to rush out and buy them ALL... but I think there's only one copy of the $100 one :( too bad for the rest of ya. ...be careful though these books might change your life Pastor Hsi, Confucian Scholar and Christian ~ Mrs.Howard Taylor - this is just SO good. Really adds insight into the Chinese mindset. By Searching, Isabel Kuhn - I've read this one three times. It really has impacted my life for christian service. George Mueller, AT. Pierson - also not abridged-like, or twaddly... the BEST biography on Mueller. Read with caution - seriously convicting and perspective changing especially in regard to prayer. There are other books that have had serious impact on my life, but these are the biographies that are the most memorable in my opinion for christian life and service. They are all definitely worthy of a re-read at some point later on down the road. Amy PS. I am pretty sure this is my most scholarly post yet!!
