Issue 2. John Wesley: Leader of the Methodist Movement

Summary
John Wesley did it all: He preached 40,000 sermons, rode 250,000 miles on horseback, lived on 28 pounds annually, founded (unintentionally) a new denomination, served the forgotten people of Britain, and had great respect for his mother. His love for historical Christianity was unmatched except by his love for the Gospel, and his desire for renewal in the Church of England had no parallel. Found here in this issue of Christian History & Biography, his story will surprise and inspire you.
