I have read a number of introductions to the Methodist Church/doctrine/history type books, and I really think that "Meet the Methodists" may be the worst one. I didn't find much in it that clearly represented any Methodist beliefs as they are taught by Wesley and the Church. What I did find was a sort of fuzzy Liberal American Protestantism that has little to do with the mainstream of Wesleyanism. You would do much better to read "John Wesley's Message Today" by Lovett Weems Jr. OR "Eight Life-Enriching Practices of United Methodists" by Henry H. Knight III OR "A Pocket Story of John Wesley" by Charles A. Sauer (that last one is more like a glorified pamphlet but it is a very good concise introduction to the Wesleyan revival).
