Challenging and Clarifying

I was excited to read this book as I come from a more reformed background but have a great admiration for John Wesley, Adam Clarke, and great and gifted teachers in their tradition. I have heard many people speak harshly of Wesley’s view and many times they would speak about it in such a negative and crazy way that I thought “you must be mistaken somewhere.” Sure enough, I found that Wesley’s own explanation of Perfection was in fact totally different than I had anticipated. The more he explained what he meant, and sadly I do think he could have picked a better term but that’s neither here nor there now, the more I found my appreciation for him grow. I still have some places of disagreement that I wish I could ask him about, but alas one day! A good and challenging book!

not what I initially expected. I thought it would be about doing everything perfectly to get God's favor or just talking about sinlesness the whole time but it was actually refreshing .

Good Presentation

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it helps you understand that you cannot be a half Christian but that with God and Jesus in your life you can be a complete Christian.

Have you listened to any of Robert J. Shaw’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I have not.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I got this book via audiobook boom

The chapters could have been more inline with the book. The book has 28 chapters where this audio only has 3

Reason meets Experience

The Wesleyan Quadrilateral is seen in this account of the great man’s attempt to quantify Christian perfection as viewed through the lens of Scripture. Well worth listening to (and preferably a read as well) for any serious follower of Christ.

Great John Wesley

classic theology by a man who recreated it and started a revolution in the christian world.

Further Discerns

I am grateful and thankful to God for this Pioneer John Wesley. His works in this book magnifies God’s glory in my life as I am discerning my call to ministry in the United Methodist Church. I have gained greater inner peace knowing the foundation of Christian Perfection revealed to us in this timeless work of art.

I’m glad to find this since many ppl misrepresent. Prayerfully listen

If fairly, humbly, and wholly listened to, it will challenge us beyond our own means but provide hope through the Holy Spirit. Not to an unattainable human perfection but to a Spirit begun(John3:5,6), led(John16:13) and finished(1 Thes. 5:23) sanctification(1 Pet 1:2).

Don’t let the title of this book throw you off. There is a great wisdom herein.

Life changing book, masterfully narrated!

Thank you to the narrator. It is evident that you know the Lord and have narrated this book with all of the joy, hope, and love that Wesley himself must have originally expressed these thoughts with!
