Why not? This time a \"Young People's\u003cbr\u003eWesley.\" If ever the common people had an interest in any man, living or\u003cbr\u003edead, that man is John Wesley. It is true that we already have many\u003cbr\u003e\"Lives\" of this remarkable man. They range from the massive volumes of\u003cbr\u003eTyerman down to the booklet of a few pages. The truth abides that of\u003cbr\u003emaking many books there is no end, and so more Lives of Wesley will be\u003cbr\u003ewritten from time to time as the years and centuries come and go. The\u003cbr\u003ereason of this is that John Wesley is one of the greatest men of all the\u003cbr\u003eChristian centuries. When we undertake to enumerate the five greatest\u003cbr\u003emen that the English race has ever produced we must of necessity include\u003cbr\u003ethe name of John Wesley. As the distance increases between the present\u003cbr\u003etime and the days of his protracted activity the grander does he appear.\u003cbr\u003eThe majority of the men of his day and generation did not comprehend\u003cbr\u003ehim. They could not, for the plan of his aspirations and achievements\u003cbr\u003ewas far above their thinking or living. They did not realize his\u003cbr\u003egreatness; they did not foresee the influence he was destined to exert\u003cbr\u003eon all future generations. He has been dead more than a hundred years,\u003cbr\u003eand yet to-day he is larger, vaster, and more powerful in the wide realm\u003cbr\u003eof intellectual and spiritual activities than he was at any time during\u003cbr\u003ehis long and vigorous life. So far as we can judge, this development of\u003cbr\u003ethe stature of this wonderful man will continue for ages.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083978785008,"sku":"2940014736626","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014736626_p0.jpg?v=1763614444","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014736626","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
