Product Description

A re-release of the J. Arthur Rank historical classic made in 1954. This cinema drama follows the life of Wesley from when he was saved out of a burning house as a child and thereby marked for life as a ‘brand from the burning’. His Oxford days, a disastrous mission to America, his decisive Aldersgate experience, his bringing the Gospel into the daily lives of alienated masses, the founding of Methodism, and his astounding role in raising the moral and religious climate in 18th century England, and much more are set forth with careful dependence on the historical sources.

John Wesley was one of the most influential ministers in all of Christian history, and this old but still potent film provides an excellent introduction to the major events in his life and the many obstacles he had to overcome.

Review of John Wesley DVD
This is a very interesting review of the life of John Wesley, founder of the Methodist church. It is very enlightening and generates respect for the man and the struggles he went through to become the great man he was. I would recommend this DVD to any others interested in learning about this great man.

John Wesley DVD
Good for history, something to tuck under your hat as "oh I didnt' know that". Not sure what I expected, but it fell short.
