Book Description
Wesley, barely eight weeks old, came to live with a couple that he knows as Granddad and Gramme. He grew and gradually took upon himself the watchdog role. Wesley, of course, is the star of all the Wesley's Adventure stories. He's a real dog living in a real place. The aEURoePool MonsteraEUR story is an early-adventure challenge Wesley faces. He is awakened by something or someone struggling in Gramme's swimming pool. Approaching the pool, he's startled to see the creature's tail swishing side to side slapping the surface. Dare he go closer? Or should he run and hide? The aEURoeOld Mr. BuzzardaEUR story begins one early morning before sunrise. Old Mr. Buzzard, like a ghost, alights on the roof. Wesley sounds the alarm, rousing the household. Why has Old Mr. Buzzard come? For what or for whom is he waiting? Later that morning, while Wesley is away, Old Mr. Buzzard leaves. But under unusual circumstances their paths will again cross that very day. In the aEURoeWesley Runs AwayaEUR story, Wesley doesn't plan to run away. And he certainly doesn't plan, under unusual weather conditions, to be lost. But lost he is. Night falls and conditions worsen. How can he possibly find his way home? It won't be easy! Be careful, Wesley. Not everyone out there wishes you well!

Book Description
On April 2, 1739, John Wesley realized that the pulpits and sanctuaries were closed to him. If he wanted to follow God’s call, he had to give up the stuffy trappings of a Church of England priest and an Oxford don and go to the people. He famously wrote, “At four in the afternoon, I submitted to be more vile and proclaimed in the highways the glad tidings of salvation.” Today we are proclaiming the glad tidings of salvation—and the other things that come with church—with comics. Wesley Bros Comics is an online world where historical church figures all exist at the same time, in today’s world, not unlike the communion of saints where past, present, and future collapse into a moment. For the first time ever, these “webcomics” are collected in printed form with new group-discussion guides to help lovers of John and Charles Wesley find a little humor in the present state of the church, and learn a lot about church history, theology, and Methodist identity. Perfect for youth groups, small groups, and even college and seminary classes, Submitting to Be More Vile uses the comic book format to communicate Wesleyan/Methodist theology, history, and practice.
