From the moment that Francis Asbury's foot touched ground in Philadelphia from England in 1771, the American colonies were never the same -- nor was the Englishman himself. Sent by John Wesley, Asbury was America's first circuit-rider, covering 5,000 to 6,000 miles a year, spreading the gospel and daring death from Georgia to Quebec. Because of his incessant travels before the advent of photography, Asbury's face became the most recognized on the continent. His face was better known than the faces of such contemporaries as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. He became so well known that he would receive mail from England addressed simply: "Bishop Asbury, America." Chased by savage Indians, hunted by ravaging wolves, and stalked by highwaymen, on he rode. Fighting pleurisy, arthritis and other ailments that were sometimes so disabling he could neither stand to preach nor kneel to pray. On he rode, preaching against slavery 70 years before the Civil War, and against intemperance 100 years before abolition became an issue. On he rode. Written by longtime journalist, Mark Alan Leslie, "Midnight Rider for the Morningstar" captures and describes the perils, challenges and dedication that punctuated the life of this man whose powerful preaching attracted thousands at a time, spurring an increase in Methodist Church membership from a mere 600 to 214,000 by the time of his death in 1816. He helped create five colleges and numerous schools.

The stories in this book are real-life, supernatural experiences in the life of one man. Some of the subjects brought up in relation to those events are sure to be provocative and maybe even to some controversial, but Sonny has taken care to back up from the Bible what he has written, to show that God can do whatever He chooses. The Lord spoke audibly to Sonny in 1974 while he was in jail and not interested in anything spiritual. Sonny had chosen crime as a lifetime career choice, but after literally seeing the light and being body slammed in that jail cell, his life has drastically changed, and the things that have happened in his life since then, to say the least, are very unusual and noteworthy. Although a lot is given to action, thrills and chills, deep and unheard-of subjects are brought to light and examined in detail in the light of the Word of God. Readers can expect inspiration, encouragement, and instruction with adventure, mystery, suspense, and thrills with a few chills.
