Dissenter’s Cemetery in London

Just recently back from a trip to England. While there I visited the dissenter’s cemetery which is accross the street from John Wesley's church.



Graves of some well known Christians can be found in the cemetery.

John Bunyan, John Owen



Susanna Wesley the mother of Charles and John

to name a few. It was a great stroll in the cemetery. We had to ask the attendant to unlock the gate so that we could get up close. Issac Watts and Daniel DeFoe are also buried here.

Hammer & Nail 1 Year Anniversary

It hardly seems like a year has past since I started this blog. It has been a very enjoyable learning experience for me. I have found other great blogs along the way and added links to my favorites. In all of the fun I have tried to "Spread a passion for the supremecy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ."

I love to read and have found that biographies have been a great help in encouraging me. To see how God has dealt with a Spurgeon, Whitefield, Pink, Edwards, Wesley .... on and on brings me great encouragement and joy.

May the year ahead be one in which the reader of Hammer and Nail will go hard afte God. May you be satified in Him alone as you greatest treasure.
