Life lessons from Hudson Taylor and John Wesley

Authentic Media is publishing new biographies on two of the most influential Christians of all time, Hudson Taylor and John Wesley.

The biographies have been written by Mark and Joanna Williamson, founders of One Rock International.

Joanna Williamson introduces Hudson Taylor in Going Forward on Your Knees, which she hopes will given an insight into the lessons and life of the missionary to a whole new generation.

The biography includes extracts from his writings and uses some of his most famous quotes to show how he overcame obstacles such as poor health, lack of money and language barriers before founding China Inland Mission - today known as OMF International.

In A Blueprint for Revival, Mark Williamson tells the story of John Wesley, incorporating extracts from his journal, letters and writings to give new insight into both the personal and professional aspects of his life.

Each chapter ends with key learning points to summarise the information given.

Both books are available now from Authentic Media or local Christian bookshop priced £7.99 each.
