Becky and Mike Waldrop "We know of no better starting place for those just beginning their journey of faith, and no better place for renewal. . .than the John Wesley Great Experiment. We should offer this cheerful warning: Be careful. These thirty days could change your life."
Tom Farmer "I have utilized the Great Experiment in every church I have served as pastor and with the same results: cleansing, renewal, revival, restoration, and deepening of the lives of the persons who dared to put God first for one month!"
Jack Turner "It was truly a spiritual awakening like nothing I have ever experienced."
Book Description This book, a revised edition, recounts a story first told in 1965 of a group of people that took the challenge to follow five spiritual disciplines for a month. The John Wesley Great Experiment was first conceived by a Sunday School teacher, Sam Teague. Since its inception, the program has inspired thousands of Christians to band together in small groups for the purpose of coming into a personal encounter with Christ. Through Bible study, prayer and meditation, service, self-sacrifice, and Christian concern, the participants experience renewed spiritual growth and fulfillment.
