The journal of the English preacher and founder of Methodism, John Wesley. Posted as a blog from his journals from 1737 onwards. Please note that this is posted as if "in real time" so there will be wide gaps where Wesley's journal falls silent for a while. In these gaps I may post other excerpts of interest from his writings.

In the evening we reached St. Ives. At seven I invited all guilty, helpless sinners who were conscious they had nothing to pay to accept of free forgiveness. The room was crowded both within and without; but all were quiet and attentive.
This all is so very cool. I just found this blog and love reading about John Wesley. And his wonderful mother. Our family has just began doing some genealogy work as I have seen where in the last several generations (back to around 1750 or so) that there are many family members with his name. So it all just makes me wonder if he is in our line. I can't wait to find the time to sit and read more. Thanks so much for sharing.
