Doing the work of Wesley

Bag om Doing the work of Wesley

A biography of an exceptional man. John Yeadon became aware that he had a life and that it was his to direct. It became his project. Self education and unbounded energy drove this project forward. His stage was a small industrial town in the West Riding of Yorkshire over almost decades in the 18th and 19th centuries. He kept a diary for more than fifty of those years and through that we get to know about life in the town, his view of the wider world and most of all his involvement in an unruly Methodist chapel. John's large family, his neighbors and people who pass through the place populate the pages. This book is a view of his life drawn from John's own accounts and extensive research.. It is also a view into the mind of a man who believed he was 'Doing the Work of Wesley', his failings and anxieties.
