Synopsis

Pursuing his calling with singleness of vision, John Wesley defied the strength of angry mobs and longstanding traditions to offer the hope of Christ to millions of people who were outside the influence of the churches of the day.

Passionate and tireless, this Anglican clergyman rode a quarter of a million miles on horseback during his lifetime, stopping to preach more than forty thousand sermons in open fields, churches, and barns.

Focused on God's love and holy living, the movement Wesley founded quickly multiplied in vibrant Methodist societies all over England and would soon influence far-flung nations for Christ.

I didn’t know John Wesley was put out to preach in the fields by the Church of England. I had not realised it was his mother’s strict but nurturing upbringing that gave him the structure he needed when it came to organising his parish in the world. ‘Agree to disagree’ came from him.

Goodreads review by Andy on December 10, 2020

This book was written in circular fasion and not linear, making it very difficult to follow John's Life. It was also very heavily factual and loaded with dates and quotations. This book did not flow well and it was difficult to know if you where reading an account of the end of John's Life at the mi......more
