Susanna: The Mother of the Wesleys

By John Kirk

This is an annotated biography of the difficult life of Susanna Wesley, mother of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, and Charles Wesley, the great and prolific hymn writer. It chronicles her girlhood and marriage to Rev. Samuel Wesley; their financial woes, his being sent to debtor's prison, and their political differences, which at one time led to a separation. Insight into her methods of child-rearing are examined, along with the woes of bearing children constantly. Of special interest may be the unhappy marriages of her daughters, illustrating that the clergy have problems too, but how they handle these trials makes or breaks the individual.
