Wesley Gold [Hardcover]

Ray Comfort (Author)

Book Description

Series: Gold | Publication Date: July 1, 2007

"Wesley Gold" is filled with precious nuggets--refined words from one of God's greats. This book tells you: *Who was John Wesley? And how could one man turn a country upside down? *Why did he say, "I went to America, to convert the Indians; but oh! who shall convert me? *What did he read that "strangely warmed his heart" and brought him to Christ? This book won't warm your heart--it will set you on fire for God. It will challenge you like no other, because the life of John Wesley make the most zealous of us seem lukewarm.

This review is from: Wesley Gold (Hardcover)

I will try to choose my words wisely because Ray Comfort seems like a nice person. However, this is a very poor book and should not have been published. I finished it but it was a struggle. He provides a brief biography of Wesley (not bad) and then pulls random journal entries from Wesley. Virtually nothing was taken from Wesley's sermons which is the true gold that a reader would want to be presented with.

After many journal entries, the author presents some additions/analysis/applications but these are so sophomoric and show very little evidence that the author is 1) a critical thinker, 2) really engaged with Wesley, and 3) spent a lot of time putting this book together.

I LOVE Wesley and saw this book so I wanted to get it but it adds nothing to Wesleyan scholarship. It does not even serve as a good survey for people unfamiliar with Wesley.

If you want to soak up Wesley, either read some of his standard sermons or pick up a book by Ken Collins. Good luck in your search. Avoid this text.
