Customer Reviews

Interesting if you are a United Methodist
Interesting slice of our history as United Methodists grew up with the country. Helpful to know where we came from to see where we need to go.

Good general guide
this is a useful and concise history of the methodist church in america. covers all major topics in enough detail to be meaningful and yet brief enough to be a quick read. great if you don't have a lot of time, or even if you do.
