The Journal of John Wesley by John Wesley
The journal starts in 1729 when John Wesley was a resident at Oxford University. He talks about his trip to Savannah Georgia with the Moravian Christians and their influence on him. He talks about his conversion experience in 1738 when he felt his “heart strangely warmed.”
Much of his journal talks about his preaching throughout England, Ireland and Scotland often outdoors usually three times a day, sometimes with hecklers in the audience. He would rise at 4am and preach his first sermon of the day at 5am. He studied on horse back travelling from one meeting to another. He travelled over 250, 000 miles and preached over 40,000 sermons in his lifetime he did this into his 80’s.
His last entry into his journal was made by his friends who recorded his dying words “The best of all is, God is with us.”
