365 daily readings from Charles Wesley
£12.99
Reverend Charles Wesley (1707 – 1788): Anglican priest, Oxford University graduate, leader of the English Methodist movement, and arguably the greatest hymn-writer of all time, with at least 6,000 hymns to his credit, many of which retain their popularity and status as "classics".
Charles Wesley was a gifted poet, with an almost unparalleled ability to capture deep truths of Scripture and condense them into meaningful verse, thereby conveying theology in terms that a wide spectrum of people could understand.
For all his genius as a wordsmith, Charles Wesley was an intensely humble Christian, sometimes living in the shadow of his brother, John, but, nevertheless, complementing the ministry of his sibling with a softer touch and a less rigid approach to life and faith.
Through the Year with Charles Wesley offers a glimpse into the works of a great man whose legacy has survived the centuries, and which still influences modern hymnology.
Reviews for Through the year with Charles Wesley
Stuart Townend, worship songwriter and musician
And there are so many other Wesley treasures to discover in these pages; hymn texts I may not have read before, but in which I still recognize his familiar talent for putting biblical truths into beautiful language that speaks to every single one of us. His verses and the message they hold are timeless, and this wonderful book will be forever cherished on my bookshelf!"
