Comprehensive history of John Wesley's life and what happened shortly after he died. Lots of source material included, and reads like historical narrative. It's a great book to have on your shelf as a reference book as well. My only complaint was that it was so detailed that it was very dry sometimes. Detail is good, but the details were mostly around the same themes that reoccurred through Wesley's life. This would not be a book for a casual reader.

I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
