John Wesley: a Brand from the Burning - Roy Hattersley
On the evening of 9 February 1709 a fire engulfed Epworth Rectory, the Lincolnshire home of Samuel and Susanna Wesley. At first, the rector believed that he had led all his family to safety. Then he realised that one of his sons was still inside the house. Twice he attempted a rescue, and twice the flames beat him back. But somehow the six-year-old boy escaped - a `brand plucked from the burning' - destined, his mother felt, for greater things.In this biography, Roy Hattersley looks back over the remarkable life and enduring influence of John Wesley, leader of the Second Reformation and founder of the Methodist Church. Hattersley charts Wesley's childhood years and the competing influences of his mother and lather, the foundation of the Oxford Holy Club, missionary work in Georgia, the organisation of the Methodist Connexion, the mystical Aldcrsgate Experience and the advent of outdoor preaching.It is a portrait of a man who, although superficially unprepossessing, radiated an irresistible dynamism that came from the unwavering conviction that he had been called to do God's work. But Wesley was a man not a saint. He was as susceptible to women as he was attractive and emotionally irresponsible. His entire life was spent torn between duty and desire.John Wesley: A Brand From the Burning is a fascinating account of one of the architects of modern Britain, a man whose influence on the new industrial working class would play a major part in shaping society during the century of Britain's greatest power, and whose passion and belief led his Methodism to become a worldwide religion.
