"As the United Methodist Church splinters, Methodists of all stripes need to be reminded of their rich theological and cultural heritage. In accessible, non-academic style, this book introduces readers to John and Charles Wesley and the Methodist movement they founded. It weaves historical and theological narrative with the personal testimony of a second-career pastor who ""married into"" the United Methodist Church, was led by God to seek ordination as pastor in it, and remains loyal to it after thirty years of ministry. The text is richly annotated with references to John Wesley's works in the hope that readers will be drawn deeper into Wesleyan spirituality. Each chapter includes ""Six Good Questions to consider or discuss"" and a suggestion to read one of ""Six Great Sermons"" by Wesley."

Reviews for Change of Heart: A Wesleyan Spirituality

"""John Wesley proclaimed 'plain truth for plain people.' In this inspiring and readable book, James Hopwood is faithful to Wesley's practice. It is not only highly informative but deeply invitational. God's love for us is evident on almost every page. Read it and you will find a divine promise of new life that will indeed change your heart."" --Henry H. Knight III, professor emeritus of Wesleyan studies and evangelism, Saint Paul School of Theology ""In our fractious world, this book reintroduces a spirituality born in the midst of societal turmoil in an earlier, yet similar era. John and Charles Wesley knew how tough life could be. The answer is not in theory, but in experiencing God's love. Then, by the grace of God, with prayer, discipline, and music, sharing that life-changing way of life with others."" --Rena M. Yocom, retired secretary, UMC Faith and Order Committee"
