3.0 out of 5 stars A historical thesis, September 10, 2004

This review is from: Susanna Annesley Wesley (1669-1742): A Biography of Strength and Love (The Mother of John and Charles Wesley) (Paperback)

From the start, the book reads much like a historical thesis. It goes into depth about the family genealogies and backgrounds of Susanna's and her husband's families, as well as detailed accounts of the lives of all their surviving children. It's filled with lots of factual information, dates, and even ruling church and political leaders. There are only about 2 pages of information about Susanna raising her children. Most of the information about her relationships with her children is about after the children left the home and she corresponded with them through letters. If you're looking to do a historical study or similar on Susanna Wesley, this book is packed with information, but if you're looking to do a book report or just wanting to learn more about her and her family life (as I did), I'd look elsewhere.
