Susanna

Remember when Bethie and I dressed up as Susanna Wesley and "friend" and gave our little talk (actually, it was a "read") about raising children for the Lord?

Well, I just finished reading Susanna Wesley, Servant of God, a book written especially for young people (that's me!), and it was an excellent review of her life. She had a hard life! 19 children, at least six of them died either at birth or soon after, at least three fires that destroyed their home and almost destroyed one of her children, a husband who was gone so much, both of them very stubborn and hard-headed, but an incredibly intelligent woman who taught her children the truths of God. But, even at that, some of her children turned their backs on God. So sad! But remember the names Charles Wesley and John Wesley? Of course! Two of her boys! Both wrote many hymns and preached the Word of God. I recommend this book for all you "young readers" out there! It's a page turner!
