Synopsis

David Brainerd, missionary to the Native Americans, has long been admired for his single minded perseverance. This book, edited by Jonathan Edwards, American’s greatest theologian’s, has inspired missionaries and preachers since its publication in 1749. Indeed, John Wesley, Brainerd’s contemporary, urges 'Let every preacher read carefully over the Life of David Brainerd'. This is Edwards’ most reprinted book.
