Synopsis

David Brainerd, an early missionary to the American Indians in New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania, died in 1747 at the age of 29 at the home of his long-time friend and supporter, the eminent Puritan theologian and preacher Jonathan Edwards. It is thanks to Edwards careful preservation and thoughtful editing of his friends diary and journal that Brainerd has influenced Christians all over the world for over 250 years. As he laboured in what was still the untamed American frontier to bring to gospel to the Indians, Brainerd faced many challenges, including depression, loneliness, and physical illness. Yet his genuine piety and single-minded devotion to God, both in heart and in practice, form a consistent backdrop to his turbulent inner world. This compilation offers a rare glimpse into the life of a man compelled by God to share his love with others in the most difficult of circumstances.
