Story of John Wesley Told to Boys and Girls

John Wesley was never meant to be a preacher. Born into a large English family, he spent his youth studying Greek and Latin, dreaming of a quiet life as a scholar. But everything changed when he encountered a faith that burned hotter than any book. This book follows the remarkable journey of a man who left his comfortable world behind to walk across England, to America, to places where no one wanted to hear about God - and to keep speaking anyway. Marianne Kirlew tells Wesley's story with the kind of warmth that makes history feel like a friend, using scraps of dialogue, poetry, and scripture to bring this rebel preacher alive for young readers. The result is not a dry biography but the story of transformation - of a quiet scholar who became a firebrand, and sparked a revival that still ripples through the world today. Perfect for children who love adventure stories and want to meet the real person behind the history.
