Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susanna Wesley, who made such a profound impression on her son John, was a fascinating and many-sided character in her own right. She was a Puritan, an Anglican, a Methodist - at once a mystic and a superbly practical mother and homebuilder. This study offers a detailed exploration of her Puritan background, sees it as the key to her character, and uses it to illuminate the Methodism of which she has justly been termed the Mother.
