John Wesley

I look upon the world as my parish

Plot

John Wesley was a small, frail man who was a giant in faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. This is the inspiring, personal story of one of the most powerful preachers since apostolic times. Crisscrossing his country on horseback for an incredible quarter of a million miles, Wesley preached at thousands of outdoor evangelistic meetings. In his own pulpit, Wesley's pastoral and teaching ministry filled the pews and spilled over to other congregations, unifying them into a strong church body. But the impact of John Wesley's life and ministry reaches far beyond the shores of England and the confines of Methodism. His witness to salvation and sanctification still shines through his hymns, through his books, and through biographies such as this one.
