English Methodist leader Charles Wesley is renowned for his prolific hymn writing and prominence in the church; his journal sheds ample light into his life as a young student and believer.This volume takes us to when Wesley was thirty-one years old in 1739. It offers profound insight into the attitude and daily life of the young Christian, at a time prior to his gaining great renown both as a prodigious songwriter and a man of distinction in the Methodist church. It is clear from the outset that Wesley was a caring man concerned with the well-being of parishioners and his fellow Christian; he describes those he encounters and converses with in a sensitive, graceful manner.Upon these pages is ample evidence of the determination and vigor contained within the character of Charles Wesley. The impressive quotations of scripture, and the easy flow with which he recounts events and principles of Christian spirituality, form a picture of a motivated and talented young believer who would go on to be one of the most prolific hymnists ever. Used as a source in later biographies, the Journal of Charles Wesley nevertheless stands on its own as a worthwhile read.
