Before he died Francis Asbury enjoined that no life of him should be written. Enough had been said about him, he felt -- and against him -- while living. Moreover, would not his Journal, which was begun and written with this thought in mind, and is therefore largely autobiographic, give all necessary information concerning his manner of life and his ceaseless activities throughout his long and distinguished ecclesiastical career? And what more need be said of him after he had finished his course, having kept the faith, than was said of La Tour d'Auvergne, the warrior of Breton, fallen in battle, when his name was called and some comrade in arms who held him in loving remembrance, responded, 'Dead on the field'?
One day a sister of Thomas Carlyle asked him whom he desired for his biographer. 'I want no biography,' was his curt answer. 'But there will be many biographies of you written,' she persisted. Men of power of achievement cannot escape this fate, however much they may wish to. Asbury's demand was unreasonable. It was inevitable that 'many biographies' of him would be written. The year following his death, at the Annual Conference in Baltimore, March, 1817, Bishop McKendree spoke of the importance of having an authentic and comprehensive life of his late colleague and friend; the Conference concurred in his views, and a committee to carry them into execution was appointed and given authority to select some one for the important task. This was done, but the choice seems not to have been a fortunate one, for at the General Conference in 1824, seven years having passed, the Rev. William Beauchamp, one of the most prominent members of that Conference, was requested to become the biographer of the still lamented leader, but he died before he had time to enter upon the work. This project failing, it would appear that the Rev. Robert Emory purposed writing a Life, and gathered a considerable quantity of valuable material, which later came into the possession of Drew Theological Seminary, where the Emory Collection of Manuscripts is regarded as among its most valued treasures.

Well written bio of a truly great man. The book was published in 1915 and was written by Tipple at the request of the ME Church. If as a Christian, you feel you have ever sacrificed, suffered, or extended yourself to the limit in His service, then you definitely need to read this bio. Probably, like myself, you will be truly humbled and yet challenged, not to be another Asbury, but to be what God wants you to be.Product details
