"John Wesley, Jr." by Dan B. Brummitt is a novel written in the early 20th century. It revolves around the life of John Wesley Farwell, Jr., a young man as he undergoes significant personal and spiritual growth through a transformative experience at a church institute. The narrative explores themes of faith, community, and self-discovery, framed within the wider context of the Methodist church and its influences on youth. The opening of the story introduces us to the protagonist, John Wesley, Jr., who is at a crossroads in his life after graduating high school. Encountering his pastor, Rev. Walter Drury, and his friends at First Church in Delafield, J.W. decides to attend the Institute—a gathering meant to foster connections among young Christians and explore their faith. The narrative captures J.W.'s youthful exuberance as he navigates his newfound independence, grapples with expectations from family, and contemplates profound social issues raised during the Institute's activities. As he engages with fellow attendees, including his best friend Marty and the enigmatic Joe, the opening chapter sets the stage for a deep exploration of Christian values and the journey toward a meaningful life in service to others.
