Book Overview

The Almost Christian: A Sermon (1741) is a religious text written by John Wesley, a prominent figure in the Methodist movement. The book is based on a sermon that Wesley delivered in 1741, in which he explores the concept of an ""almost Christian"" - someone who appears to live a Christian life but has not fully committed themselves to God.In the book, Wesley argues that true Christianity is not just about following rules and performing good deeds, but about a deep and personal relationship with God. He encourages readers to examine their own lives and ask themselves if they are truly devoted to God or if they are simply going through the motions.Wesley also discusses the importance of faith, repentance, and the Holy Spirit in the Christian life. He stresses that it is not enough to simply believe in God, but that true faith requires a willingness to surrender oneself to God and follow His will.Overall, The Almost Christian: A Sermon (1741) is a thought-provoking and inspiring text that challenges readers to examine their own faith and commitment to God. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Christianity and the importance of a personal relationship with God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
