"Roger Nelson is incredible in giving a wonderful presentation of the life of John Wesley. It is humorous and full of the good news of the Gospel. I can promise you this, there is not a boring moment."
Dr. O.S. Hawkins, Former Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Dallas, TX
"I never met John Wesley, but I had the strong sensation when meeting Roger Nelson as John Wesley, that the man would be very much as Nelson portrays him."
Ben Kinchlow, The 700 Club, CBN
"I heartily recommend Roger Nelson and his excellent presentation of The Confession. I think both Catholics and Protestants and those outside the churches can learn a great deal of history in this exciting format."
