As the United Methodist Church splinters, Methodists of all stripes need to be reminded of their rich theological and cultural heritage. In accessible, non-academic style, this book introduces readers to John and Charles Wesley and the Methodist movement they founded. It weaves historical and theological narrative with the personal testimony of a second-career pastor who "married into" the United Methodist Church, was led by God to seek ordination as pastor in it, and remains loyal to it after thirty years of ministry. The text is richly annotated with references to John Wesley's works in the hope that readers will be drawn deeper into Wesleyan spirituality. Each chapter includes "Six Good Questions to consider or discuss" and a suggestion to read one of "Six Great Sermons" by Wesley.
