This book my father started to write before his death in 1993.
This book is about the first years of his 30 years of ministry within the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church. His...

It was his desire for one day for them to be published. “He wanted to impart wisdom to those of us who have followed in the ministry.”
To help fulfill his desire to have his manuscript published: I have taken a copy of my father’s manuscript and have sought to put them down in book format for him. He only was able to complete the first few years of his ministry down on paper before his death.

In this series of interrelated narrative essays, historian Ron Southern explores some of the difficulties of living a righteous life in 18th century England, Scotland, Ireland and the Middle East.... More > Using the letters and journals of John Wesley, Richard Viney and John Cennick, first hand accounts of Presbyterian revival, and Moravian congregation and missionary diaries, he attempts to conjure the sensibilities of the Christly faced with the exigencies of living in a world dominated by Satan.
