I’m looking for good reading on the EUB part of our United Methodist history. I’m especially interested in biographical works on Otterbein, Boehm, and/or Albright.
Any help?

Words from Wesley
This love we believe to be the medicine of life, the never-failing remedy for all the evils of a disordered world, for all the miseries and vices of men. Wherever this is, there are virtue and happiness going hand in hand. There is humbleness of mind, gentleness, long-suffering, the whole image of God; and at the same time a peace that passeth all understanding, and joy unspeakable and full of glory.
— John Wesley
Father John
Francis Asbury
William Otterbein

I can’t help with the biographical works, but my UM History syllabus listed this book as
“highly recommended”:
Behney and Eller, The History of the Evangelical United Brethren Church, Abingdon 1979.
