Life of John Wesley Redfield

Just after Redfield’s death, his friend Joseph Terrill wrote this account of his life. Terrill’s admiration of the Methodist evangelist shines through his words; he opens the book by describing how he first came across Redfield, who was then giving an impassioned sermon to a great mass of people. This biography gives readers the unique opportunity to learn about and experience the Holiness Movement and the founding of the Free Methodist Church from the inside. Characteristic of the day and the author’s evangelical background, this engaging book contains rich sensory description and an emotional narrative style.
