A Journal, Not a Story

If you are interested in the life of this man, these journal entries provide some insight into his beliefs, thoughts and life experiences. It is a plodding but rewarding venture. John Wesley’s impact on both sides of the pond has been instrumental in many people of the Christian faith. If only I had his discipline.

Not full journal

Indeed this is not the full journal and much is skipped. However, it still contains hours and hours of John Wesley's journal.

The narrator does a remarkable job reading it; he voice is clear, his pace is just right, and his style lively yet not distracting.

This is fantastic!

Thank God for John Wesley!

I thank God for John Wesley’s detailed account of his Christian walk. It was seeing how God was with John always, even in the little things like taking a fall, that really encouraged me and gave me clarity. It was also John’s reflection on worry and it’s effect. Changed my life.

Wonderful listen!

John Wesley was a remarkable man. He cared so much for the people of Britain that he traveled thousands of miles every year on horseback to share the love of Jesus Christ with them. He continued even into his eighties when most would’ve retired. Thousands found forgiveness of sin from God as a result of his efforts. In addition to the religious side of the book, it’s also a great way to learn more about the history of the British working class of the 1700s. Fascinating listen!

Excellent all around

John Wesley was a man of God. Praise Jesus for him. Through this journal, you learn about the course of his life, the persecution he faced, and his dogged work ethic. Wesley is excellent writer, straight to the point, funny, devoted to the Lord Jesus Christ. I learned the temperament and mindset of a successful evangelist in this book. May God bring more workers like Wesley into the harvest fields.
The narrator was excellent, perfect voice for the content.
