Book Description

Henry Clay Morrison was one of the greatest preachers of his time. He was a Methodist minister raised in heart of rural Kentucky. Born in 1857 and an orphan at an early age, he was blessed with the treasure of a righteous upbringing founded on faith, church, love and that wonderful “old time religion" so prevalent and practiced in that day.
Morrison had the most humble beginnings as a struggling young messenger of God’s word. However, God soon began blessing and opening doors for this young man that would eventually take him across the nation and to various parts of the world, achieving marvelous results. In addition, he was a writer, an educator, a college president and the founder of Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky, and was the publisher and editor of a very popular religious publication, The Pentecostal Herald.
Morrison’s extraordinary delivery of God’s word propelled him to the highest ranks of honor and respect, and known as the greatest pulpit orator on the American continent. Some of the most touching and enduring moments of Morrison’s extraordinary life were those of his childhood. Morrison came to Barren County, Kentucky at the age of two. He was left with family by his father, who was trying to make a living after the death of his young wife. Morrison grew up in a pioneer home just perfect for nurturing him into a great spiritual man that God would someday use to accomplish all the mighty works that lay ahead.
This is a story that every Christian adult should want to share with their children. It is a story every young boy and girl ought to read that reflects how the Lord can work so intimately in the hearts and the lives of young people and draw so closely to them. It is a story to encourage the young to desire the Lord and to seek a true heart-felt experience of salvation, the most important and precious thing they will ever know. It is the true childhood story of one of the greatest God-called ministers the modern world has ever known, the wonderful story of our own beloved Henry Clay Morrison.

Gary Bewley is a retired law enforcement officer and minister. A native of Barren County, Kentucky, he grew up and lives within two miles of the boyhood home of Rev. Henry Clay Morrison. Gary serves as president of the Morrison Park Camp-meeting Association and along with Nancy Richey led the restoration efforts at the park. In addition, Gary serves on the board of the Barren County Historical Society, and was pleased to be the initiator for the placement of a local monument honoring musician and Barren County native Billy Vaughn. Gary is also an artist and musician, and spends much time writing religious material to witness and share the truth of God’s word. Although many books have been written by, and about, Henry Clay Morrison, Gary felt there was a special need to emphasize and share with young readers the touching story of Morrison’s early life. This illustrated book, along with much local history, he believes, breathes new life into this 160-year-old story, and trusts it will be a great joy and witness to many young people for years to come.

She loves local history and notes that it is not “national history writ small”, but that the stories others may have thought “too small” to tell can also be saved in this way

New Painting, "First Sermon", Henry Clay Morrison at Johnson's Chapel, Casey County, Kentucky.

New Painting, First Sermon, 16x20, oil on canvas, by Gary Bewley, for Morrison Park.  In 1878, Morrison, recently licensed to preach was given his first assignment to travel from Perryville Ky. , over the knobs to Casey county, along the Rolling Fork River to preach his first sermon at Johnson's Chapel. He arrived the day before spending the night at the home of State Representative William Green Johnson, who built the church in mid 1800's. Morrison wrote, "Sabbath morning I went up in the field where there was a great rock covered with bushes and grapevines, and I prayed earnestly for help. I cannot remember positively what my text was, but I had Liberty, told my experience, exhorted the people. Everybody was in tears. I went to Brother Johnson's for dinner. Someone said "Everybody in our church wept while you preached and told your experience." Coming back, Morrison preached at Sycamore Methodist Church Sunday afternoon.
