Interesting book about the mother of John Wesley. Even though it was for preteens it really is not all that simple that even older readers would not enjoy it. If you want more information on the children or the husband there are many books available. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I purchased this book through to read on my new Kindle Fire 8.9 which I truly love.
This book is a favorite of mine, as well as my husband's. We found it to be one of the most encouraging and inspiring books we'd ever read. It is in our top 10 favorites....can't recommend it highly enough...if I could have given it 10 stars, I would have. Is definitely a book you do not want to miss reading...it will stay with you long after you've read the last page. Susanna's faith and Godly motherhood is an inspiration for all!
Although this book is written for children (and I didn't know that until I had bought it), there is enough meat here to keep an adult interested although it is written in an easy, story-type narrative. We see Susannah Wesley as a resourceful woman who brought up her family almost single-handed, but was not without her faults. Her Christian spirituality is a strong feature of this book - fair enough; it was important in her life. Her upbringing of her boys, and the problems of her girls - intelligent women in an age where women's intelligence was at best ignored, ant worst, vilified - are realistically handled. I was engaged throughout, and found a lot to think about in it.
I really enjoyed reading "Servant of God."It is a well-written biography of Susanna, the mother of John & Charles Wesley. Although labeled preteen, it is a wonderful book that all ages will enjoy. I couldn't put it down.
Susanna, herself one of twenty five children, gave birth to nineteen. An educated girl, she could read both Hebrew and Greek as well as Latin by age thirteen.Susanna devoted herself to God, dedicated her time to teaching her nine surviving children, and was the informal worship leader for up to two hundred in the community because townsfolk could understand her explanations of the Bible and learned from her lessons.Marriage was a continual challenge even though she and Samuel Wesley remained faithful to each other once married. Sam spent time away from home as liberally as he spent the meager funds he earned. Susanna only escaped debt near the end of her life.Sons John and Charles experienced inner heart-warming, something Susanna never understood about their father until 4 years before her death.This book purports to be a teen book but adults reading will be blessed!
I found the story of Susanna Wesley interesting and informative. She was a woman of conviction who had the fear of the Lord yet not without her faults and failures just like the rest of us. An easy read.
Susanna Wesley's biography is inspirational. Though it's geared for children, it pulls no punches in showing the consequences of neglect of parental obligations. However, proverbs 31 aptly is demonstrated in Mrs. Wesley.Our family highly recommends this book to anyone looking for a woman who indirectly influenced the history of American civilization.
Easy to read, I couldn't put it down! Loved getting to know more about this great mother and Godly woman.
