He is retired and lives in Australia. His story since retirement can be read in Stopped Work? Start Living! ISBN 978-1-84550-047-4. Mr. Cromarty has done a superb job of telling the story of the life of J. Hudson Taylor. What I found most refreshing was his approach. Other biographies of famous Christians that I have read, especially older biographies from early in the 20th century, told those life stories as "evangels," that is, their life stories were sublimated to the Christiam message. As a result, the portraits painted tended to show the believers as more angelic and less human than they were. While Mr. Cromarty's portrait of Mr. Taylor presents the evangel of Mr. Taylor's life, it also shows his humble spirit and perseverance in the face of difficult times, hints at some less than perfect character traits (he is human, after all - only God is perfect!) and presents him as someone approachable, someone who can inspire me to live my life before God in a similar fashion to how he lived his life before God. And, most importantly, someone I would have been happy to have called "friend," if he would have accepted me as such.
