In January I set out to read John Wesley’s journal. Over the years I have found great spiritual nourishment in reading the works from Christian saints through the ages: Theresa of Avila, Brother Lawrence, Julian of Norwich, John Calvin, John of the Cross and more.

Four months later, I give up.

If you are interested in the origins on Methodism, or the works of a master evangelist, this massively abridged journal of an incredible man, John Wesley, is a great place to start.
Originally in multiple volumes, his journals spanning his adult life - covering 50 years & over 100,000 miles of field preaching on horseback, it has been condensed into this current form.
It has 2 introductions which nicely cover elements of Wesley's life that are excluded from the rest of the book; such as Wesle...more

My edition is 8 volumes and is not a Kindle Edition, rather it is edited by Nehemiah Curnock. It is a good read. We do not do journals today but during Wesley's days some did and his is very unusual. This is a fascinating read.

One of the tedious type books... this is not an airline/bath time relaxation book you can get through in an hour. Take your time and enjoy it.
My copy is a hard cover published by Moody Press in 1951

“October 6, 1774
I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them
1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy
2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and
3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.”
