But Robert began to admire John Wesley. He saw how Wesley's preaching changed the lives of many people -- event some who tried to stop him. Robert heard people talk about being "converted." He wasn't sure what they meant.
Robert and his father went to Wesley's meetings whenever they coud. They saw that Wesley took an interest in common people like themselves. He wrote booklets and talked to people about God.
Gradually Robert began to understand what Wesley's preaching was all about. As he allowed God to work in his life, Robert found that his own heart, life Wesley's, was strangely warmed.

The character may be fictional, but the historical figures are real -- and accurately portrayed in all the details of their personality. Vernon made trips to England and Germany in order to research the locations and insure that all the details were historically accurate.
