5.0 out of 5 stars Susanna Wesley - a real woman, August 28, 2000

By A Customer

Mr. Dallimore presents Susanna as a real person. Her faults and her struggles come alive, and yet she is an inspiration. She was obviously highly educated for her time. The book educates us about history and society in her era, as well as religion. But there are no flat characters. Very informative. Nice and short, also.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, August 31, 2008

By	Love to Read - See all my reviews

I bought this book thinking I would be able to learn from Susanna Wesley. A huge portion of this book is dedicated to her husband and his debts. I found that discouraging and frankly, maybe the book should have been titled after his name, not Susanna's. I wish I hadn't purchased this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Susanna Wesley the Mother of John & Charles Wesley, June 11, 2008

By	Jennifer Schwarz (Milford, CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have heard Susanna mentioned many times as a model for rearing godly sons. I bought this book expecting to learn her principles and methods. Instead I felt the book was basically a criticism of her husband. I was not pleased and will not reccommend this book.
