Despite being hailed as 'the foremost woman of her time' in the 1880s, Helen Taylor's legacy has largely been overshadowed, often reduced to her role as John Stuart Mill's stepdaughter and a divisive figure within the Victorian women's suffrage movement. However, this biography seeks to rediscover the complex woman behind the often-deserved label of 'difficult to work with,' exploring the politics and convictions that made her both admired and reviled. As the daughter of philosopher Harriet Taylor and stepdaughter of Mill, Helen emerged from their shadows to become a powerful public figure, fighting for women’s rights, education reform, land nationalization, socialism, and Irish Home Rule. In 1885, she became the first woman to run as a parliamentary candidate, representing Camberwell Radical Club. However, by the late 1880s, poor health forced her withdrawal from public life, and her contributions faded into obscurity. Helen’s vital role in shaping progressive movements was lamented even in her time, with reformers like Frances Soutter lamenting her erasure from history. Helen Taylor and her Fight for the People reclaims Helen's rightful place as a pioneering force in the fight for democracy and gender equality in the Victorian era.
Hudson survived his perilous maiden voyage to his beloved China. With his heart set in determined obedience to God, and trusting the provision of the One who had called him, Hudson overcame persecution and almost overwhelming personal losses to bring God's truth to the "ripe harvest fields" of China. Today, Hudson Taylor's story continues to challenge and inspire believers young and old to carry the anchoring gospel message, regardless of personal trial or hardships, to those who are adrift and without hope. (1832-1905). This best-selling, missionary biography series - Christian Heroes: Then & Now - chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory. Pages: 208 (paperback) Ages: 10+
Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) Inspirerende, sanne historier om menn og kvinner som fulgte Guds kall. «Hvis ikke Gud hjelper oss, er alt håp ute», ropte kaptein Morris i brølet fra stormen. Hudson Taylor var enig. Ja, da ville «Dumfries» synke denne dagen, og han ville aldri få se Kinas kyst, landet med alle menneskene Gud hadde kalt ham til. Hudson overlevde den livsfarlige jomfruturen til sitt elskede Kina. Med et lydig hjerte og tillit til at Gud ville forsørge ham, overvant han forfølgelse og store personlig tap for å formidle Guds sannhet til mennesker i Kina. Historien om Hudson Taylor utfordrer og inspirerer fortsatt unge og gamle til å trosse personlige prøvelser og trengsler og gi evangeliet til mennesker som enda ikke har hørt verdens beste nyheter. Andre bøker i Kristne helter-serien: Hans Nielsen Hauge Annie Skau Berntsen Eric Liddell Amy Carmichael Jim Elliot George Müller Gladys Aylward William Booth Loren Cunningham Lillian Trasher Mary Slessor Corrie Ten Boom David Livingstone C. S. Lewis Elisabeth Elliot. Lett og gripende skrevet - fint fra 12 år og oppover.

And she's alive, though currently trapped in the twelfth century, during the age of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Hope has seventy-two hours to rescue her mother and get back to their own time. Passing through the Dim, Hope enters a brutal medieval world of political intrigue, danger, and violence. A place where any serious interference could alter the very course of history.
