Publisher's summary

In a period of 21 years, Susanna Wesley (1669-1742) bore 19 children. Ten survived infancy. Two grew up to be influential church leaders whose legacies live on almost three centuries later.

This is the story of one of Church history's most revered women, the godly mother of John and Charles Wesley. This biography recounts the story of a woman who used her strong leadership and faith to raise well educated and spiritually disciplined children. Her unwavering devotion to God and family in the face of grief, poverty, and a sometimes difficult marriage is a tremendous inspiration.

Too short

Great book. Motivational for mothers to think long term when raising the next generation Christian. Wish it was longer, especially on her parenting tips.

Factually supported by original documents.

I appreciated the accuracy of Susanna Wesley's biography as it was almost wholly comprised of her letters, writings, and first-hand accounts of her life experiences.

Inspiring …

One of the best books I’ve read recently for spiritual encouragement and for parenting instruction. I want to raise my kids to know and love God like she did. Also this is one of my favorite readers. I look for books specifically read by her.
