This biographical account tells the story of John Oxtoby, a Methodist evangelist who traveled throughout England in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, preaching and spreading the gospel. Oxtoby's life was characterized by poverty, illness, and persecution, but he remained steadfast in his faith and continued to inspire others with his message of hope and salvation. Leigh's engaging narrative captures the spirit of this remarkable man and brings his story to life for a new generation of readers.
