A practical guide to living out faith through the General Rules
This book presents the General Rules associated with Wesleyan methodists, framed as a practical code for daily Christian living. It emphasizes a heart- and life‑level faith, designed to unite believers across diverse churches while keeping the focus on scriptural guidance and personal growth.
The content frames how a Christian community can pursue holiness through three core divisions—avoiding evil, doing good, and attending all the ordinances of God—with clear guidance on membership, discipline, and shared spiritual practice. It also discusses how these rules have shaped Methodist life for generations and why they matter for personal integrity and church health today."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
