With renewed energy and deep faith, Wesley begins a revolutionary movement that will ultimately transform the face of England and the fledgling country across the Atlantic. Under his leadership, the first shelters for battered women are begun, the poor of England are empowered and transformed by saving faith, prison reforms are started, and the anti-slavery movement begins. Across the former colonies, Methodist lay preachers on horseback reach the remotest frontier settlements with the message of the Gospel.
This true story, filled with adventure and challenge, is one that is a natural for the silver screen. It contains many of the elements that make for a successful motion picture - and conveys a powerful message that is pertinent to our times.
Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote that "John Wesley transformed the outlook and even the character of the English nation."
