The Lives Of The Lesser-Known Methodists

The original, unaltered biographies of John Fletcher, William Bramwell, Gideon Ouseley, and the autobiography of Peter Cartwright.The 18th Century evangelistic movement that swept Europe and America was arguably founded by George Whitefield and John Wesley, had the most famous of its music supplied by Charles Wesley, and was most famously continued after their deaths by Francis Asbury. The more Reformed among us will recall other Methodist figures such as Howell Harris and Daniel Rowland, but many Christians are totally unaware of the presence of other heroic Methodist figures who fearlessly preached the gospel toward the end of Whitefield and Wesley’s time and the century following.Just like the Methodists before them, these individuals dedicated their lives to preaching the gospel and defending the faith, come Hell or highwater (quite literally). Some stayed in Europe while others crossed the sea to America, but all of them traveled wherever the Spirit took them, preaching the gospel with unquenchable zeal and supernatural power everywhere they found themselves. This volume exists to help preserve Methodist history and inspire this generation, and any that come after it, by the true spirit of Methodism, which was to preach the gospel to all those who needed it, no matter the cost.
