"Steve Harper goes to the very heart of faithfulness as he describes and then calls upon all those who follow Wesley to live. It is lives of integrity that are the result of following these marks. Harper rightly says this will give the ring of truth to our daily living. He then goes on to identify the "marks" or "practices" that when followed will result in a life of righteousness goodness peace and joy. It is a way of living in Gods gracious presence that he encourages for everyone and it is a way of living I choose for myself."Rueben P. Job author of Three Simple Rules: A Wesleyan Way of Living
