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!

An incredible journal

This is a must for history lovers and pastors. The journal is a synopsis of the life of a man who had a great impact on many lives around the world.

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.

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.

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!

"O LORD, Thou preservest man and beast"

I listened to this book for the purpose of learning more about John Wesley, and I was not disappointed. From these writings, I heard Wesley's faith grow and could see the incredible providences that marked his long life and protected him throughout. This version of the journal is cut down by 3/4 but still very extensive. The narration style by Derek Perkins seems perfect for this type of work.

Fantastic testament to the willing life service

well read and inspiring!!!
a great insight into times and people of many different places and worldviews.
rare glimpses of religious and political realities during the late 1700s!!

Interesting and inspiring life story.

Great narration of one the historical stalwarts of our Christian faith. Helped me to have a greater understanding of simple faith in action.

I learned a lot.

Times have changed but the gospel has
not, nether have the needs of the people. This book is such a good example of how the spirit can touch even the most rebellious people.
