About this listen

An intelligent, strong-willed woman, Susanna Wesley suffered much in a male-dominated world while she prepared her children to succeed in it.

Her fiery, independent spirit is evident as Arnold Dallimore sets the mother of Methodism within her culture and time in England. Though Samuel Wesley figures prominently in his wife's story, as do John, Charles, and the other children, the story remains fixed on Susanna.

Excerpts from Susanna Wesley's letters and writings of her husband and children are included.

This story was very revealing as it brought a lot of truth forward about the circumstances of the famous John and James Wesley. In no way was life easy for this woman, and yet she remained very humble and served her Lord faithfully by giving her life for her children and husband.
The reading was very good too, however, if it was s UK native it would probably be even better.
Thank you.

Great story full of honest disclosures of her life

It was sobering to hear of the challenges faced by this remarkable woman and her offspring, and many of that era .
I did find that narrator's voice grated somewhat , which detracted from my enjoyment.

Fascinating history of the Wesleys
