John Wesley and the Missing Journal by Anne Packard
John Wesley and the Mystery of the Missing Journal by Anne Packard invites young readers on an unforgettable journey through eighteenth century England introducing faith, history, and adventure. This beautifully illustrated chapter book blends historical fact with an engaging mystery as it follows John Wesley, Anglican priest and founder of the Methodist movement, on a search for one of his most treasured possessions – his missing journal.
Filled with memorable characters, simple black and white illustrations, and rich historical detail, John Wesley and the Mystery of the Missing Journal introduces readers to one of Christianity’s most influential leaders in a way that is both educational and entertaining. Through each chapter, children meet real historical figures, explore the birth of the Methodist movement, and learn about the importance of faith, forgiveness, friendship, and trusting God even when life’s mysteries seem impossible to solve.
“History comes alive when children see that the great people of the past faced many of the same questions and challenges we do today,” said author Anne Packard. “My hope is that readers will not only enjoy solving the mystery alongside John Wesley but will also discover the courage, compassion, and unwavering faith that shaped his remarkable life.”
Anne Packard draws on years of experience interpreting Methodist history and creating educational programs for children and families at the Moore Methodist Museum on the campus of Epworth by the Sea Christian Conference Center. Her storytelling combines careful historical research with an engaging narrative that encourages curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.
