Movie review: "Wesley: A Heart Transformed Can Change the World"

Wesley: A Heart Transformed Can Change the World
Library category: DVD








This movie is based on John and Charles Wesley’s personal journals and traces the life of John Wesley’s and the journey he took that ultimately led to the founding of the Methodist movement.

From a very young age, Wesley earnestly sought to do God’s work, relying on his own self discipline and doing good works that he thought would be pleasing to God. For example, while he was at Oxford he regularly visited prisoners to distribute food to them. He did all this in the belief that he could earn his way into God’s favour and escape the fires of Hell. This belief was to change when God made use of the lowest point of his life to teach him the true meaning of faith and to raise him to become one of the greatest English evangelists of his generation.
