Susanna Wesley is one of my heros. It’s not that I entertain even the slightest hope that I could ever have the discipline she demonstrated while educating and discipling her children, notably John Wesley, founder of the Methodist denomination, and prolific hymn writer Charles Wesley. My kids are responsible young adults now, but still, all of my self-assessments of parenting involve the phrases “could’ve” and “should’ve.” This is especially the case when I read accounts of great women and men, as featured in Eric Metaxas’ wonderful books, Seven Women and Seven Men.
