Using Wesleyan spirituality as a guide and the scriptures as a solid grounding, As If the Hear Mattered renders a balanced understanding what "heart religion" involves.
I thought that Clapper made some really great points throughout the book but his overall argument and purpose behind writing the book was lost on me. I had no idea why I was reading it until the very end and even then I'm still unclear what, if anything, Clapper was trying to achieve from writing it. I don't totally discredit it though, he does do a great job of laying out what Wesley thought and taught and I loved how he incorporated hymns at the end of each chapter!
