Life and Labors of Francis Asbury, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America is a comprehensive biography of one of the most influential figures in American religious history. Written by George G. Smith, this book chronicles the life of Francis Asbury, who served as the first bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America from 1784 until his death in 1816. The book begins with Asbury's early life in England, where he was born in 1745, and follows his journey to America in 1771, where he became a prominent leader in the Methodist movement. Asbury's tireless efforts to spread the gospel and establish churches throughout the United States are chronicled in detail, including his travels on horseback across the country, which earned him the nickname the prophet on horseback. Smith also delves into Asbury's personal life, including his struggles with illness and his relationships with other leaders in the Methodist Church. The book provides a fascinating look at the early years of the Methodist Church in America, as well as the broader social and political context in which Asbury lived and worked. Overall, Life and Labors of Francis Asbury, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America is an important work of religious history that sheds light on the life and legacy of one of America's most influential religious leaders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
