Francis Asbury's America: An album of early American Methodism

On Christmas Day, 1784, sixty traveling preachers gathered in Baltimore to elect Francis Asbury their general superintendent and establish the Methodist Episcopal Church. Under Asbury's leadership, this budding church blossomed, and within thirty years it surpassed all others as the largest denomination in America. With over 200 illustrations, this travelogue will treat connoisseurs of America within picturesque portrait of life in the young republic. Moreover, the journal selection will provide devotional reading for those who are challenged by Asbury's quest for personal holiness and dedication to servanthood.
