About the author
Born near Rothwell, Yorkshire, on November 11, 1738, he was orphaned young and had a troubled early life before coming under strong religious influence. He joined the Methodist movement in the early 1760s and became an active Wesleyan minister, working closely with John Wesley.
Over many years, he preached widely and also wrote religious works, building a reputation as a committed and practical voice within early Methodism. His long service led to one of the movement’s senior roles when he became president of the Wesleyan Conference.
He died on November 11, 1816. Remembered as both a preacher and writer, he belongs to the generation that helped carry Methodism from its founding years into a more established church life.
