Book Synopsis Life of John Wesley, 1793 by : John Wesley
Download or read book Life of John Wesley, 1793 written by John Wesley. This book was released on 1992. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Wesley bequeathed his manuscripts to three trusted colleagues with the expectation that they would prepare, write, and publish a suitable biography after his death. An ex-Methodist preacher, John Hampson, beat them into print with an unflattering portrait of Methodism's founder. The book was published in June of 1791, only three months after Wesley was buried.To counter this publication, Thomas Coke and Henry Moore rushed into print an "authorized" and more flattering account. Their Life of John Wesley was first published in April 1792, and the authors had high hopes for their 542-page book. By showing "how faithfully, zealously, and prudently Wesley labored" may thereby be more abundantly stimulated to be followers of him, as he was of Christ."A year later the first and only known American edition was published in Philadelphia by John Dickins who only three years earlier had begun the publishing house for the Methodist Episcopal Church. Twenty-three know editions/printings kept the book available in England until 1864. We are pleased to reprint the first American printing by Philadelphia printer Parry Hall for John Dickins in 1793.

Download or read book Life of John Wesley (Classic Reprint) written by B. W. Bond. This book was released on 2015-07-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of John Wesley The author has so grouped the leading events in the life- of Mr. Wesley as to present in as small compass a fair and distinct likeness of the great Founder of Methodism. It is a miniature representation, but large and distinct enough- to give our young people a correct idea of the man and his work. We think the book opportiae, and trust it will do much good. Our children should be aught to know and veninerate the character of the man who has done so much for the world, and to whom we as a Church are indebted for our existence. It is a fault of the present generation of Methodists that they know so little about him. We place this memoir in our catalogue with the hope that it will soon find its way into every Sunday-school library in the land, and that it may stimulate thousands to a better life.
