What happens when a smart, talented young man desires to serve God…but is mostly driven by his fear of death and Hell? How is a conflicted heart torn by love and desire? And what happens when that heart finally discovers grace?
A Heart Transformed Can Change the World!
In this powerful true story, based directly on the private journals of John and Charles Wesley, we glimpse the private struggles of one man who would go on to found the Methodist movement - and another who would become one of the most prolific and beloved hymn writers of history. Together, they would transform the face of England with revolutionary ministries to the poor and downtrodden, creating a movement that laid the groundwork for the eventual abolition of slavery.
This movie makes one proud to be a Methodist!

Charles Wesley, sometimes called the "sweet singer" of Methodism, is one of Christendom's most outstanding poets. He wrote some 9,000 hymns and sacred poems, hundreds of which became hymns for Christian worship. George Friedrich Handel wrote music specifically for three of them. This DVD is a one-man musical drama that deals with Wesley's struggle against poverty, reluctant acceptance of Holy Orders and life as a Church of England clergyman, adventure to America, opposition to slavery, social and spiritual reform, personal transformation, stormy beginnings of the Methodist movement, courage in the face of violence, family devotion and conflict, and poetic genius.

He gives a brief history, outlines major beliefs, and describes some things we can learn from that tradition to strengthen our own Christian faith. The 8 sessions are:
1. Orthodoxy: Mystery, Liturgy, and Tradition; 2. Catholicism: Sacrament and Mass; 3. Lutheranism: Word and Faith; 4. Presbyterianism: The Sovereignty of God; 5. Anglicanism: Common Prayer; 6. Baptists: Baptism, Conversion, and Scripture; 7. Pentecostalism: The Power of the Spirit; 8. Methodists: People of the Extreme Center

Based on the book by Robert P. Ericksen, this video introduces the viewer to three of the greatest Christian scholars of the twentieth century: Paul Althaus, Emanuel Hirsch, and Gerhard Kittel, men who were also outspoken supporters of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. This provocative film asks: how could something like this happen in the heart of Christian Europe? Could it happen again? How does the scholarship of this period affect the church today? Does the church of today retain the ability to recognize profound evil?
