John Wesley: The World His Parish (Christian Heroes: Then and Now Series)

About the Title: Wesley defied the strength of angry mobs and traditions to offer the hope of Christ to millions of people who were outside the influence of the Church of the day. He rode a quarter of a million miles on horseback during his lifetime to preach more than 40,000 sermons in open fields, churches, and barns. The movement he founded quickly multiplied in Methodist societies all over England and would influence other nations for Christ.
