"Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great - Volume 09" by Elbert Hubbard is a collection that explores the lives of significant reformers, written during the late 19th century. This volume focuses on notable figures such as John Wesley, Henry George, and Garibaldi, delving into their contributions, philosophies, and journeys. Through engaging anecdotes and historical context, Hubbard presents the enduring influence of these reformers on society and their legacies. The opening of the volume introduces John Wesley, highlighting his early life, familial relationships, and the profound impact of his mother, Susanna Wesley. It portrays his struggles against the conventional religious practices of his time and his tireless efforts to spread a message of reform and personal spirituality. The text paints a vivid picture of Wesley’s character, noting his determination to challenge the status quo and ignite spiritual awakening among everyday people. Through his experiences, we witness the evolution of a man who, despite facing ridicule and rejection, emerged as a pivotal leader whose actions would shape the foundations of Methodism and influence Christianity at large.
