Customer Reviews

I only received one volume

I ordered this and only received one volume. I let quite a bit of time pass thinking maybe they would come separately... they did not. The book I have is great, cover as advertised in quality etc. Printing nothing to complain about, I just wish I'd got what was advertised.

A Reliable Wesley Resource

The CD-ROM of the Works of John Wesley is an excellent source for anyone who is doing Wesleyan research or someone who is just interested in John Wesley's writings. It is a complete resource and the Scriptural links and search parameters are very reliable for intense study. I've used it for 10 years and lost my first copy, so I had to purchase a second copy so I wouldn't be without it!

High Value at a Very Low Cost

This a comprehensive collection with a very low cost. This is a serious addition to a serious library.

Works of John Wesley

This set of books was an interesting combination of a history of the author, his actual sermon's, hymns, etc. This recopied and compacted set has all the detail and exactness of the original set, with the minor flaw of a random missing letter in the midddle of the text, intermittently. I have not found this to cause any great difficulty. The set is very informative regarding the thought of early Puritan Christianity. It is also a handsome set and well worth the price. echance

A Great Investment of Your Time and Money

Great Value! These seven volumes are actually fourteen volumes, re-issued as seven, with two "volumes" in each book. These are nicely bound If you contrast the content in these volumes with Christian books which are enjoying popularity today, you might wonder why you wasted your time on the popular stuff. Wesley changed the English-speaking world, especially the working class. His sermons are awesome. When you read his sermon "Against Evil Speaking," you may find yourself carefully guarding your tongue, and thoughts. Wesley's sermon against bigotry may help you become more tolerant of others -- this from the most prominent teacher and preacher of holiness in modern times. You'll have to work at some of the reading, but it is well worth the effort. This set of books lends itself well to browsing. You don't have to read huge chunks at a sitting. There is a wide variety of writings in these volumes. You'll get more than your money's worth in pleasure and intellectual/spiritual profit If you enjoy these books, you would probably enjoy William Wilberforce's "A Practical View of Christianity." Wesley's fans credit him and the Methodist movement (not today's United Methodist Church) with averting the kind of bloody revolution experienced by France. Wilberforce is rightly credited with bringing down slavery in Great Britain. Together, these English giants revived Christianity in the English-speaking world: relying upon the Bible, they showed Christians what God expects of us. If you compare them to the prophets of the Old Testament, you may be amazed at the success of these two Englishmen.

Great Value

This is a great value for the money! I am a seminary student (and a Methodist), so having John Wesley's works at my finger-tips is a blessing. It is a beautiful set and very affordable.
