Overview

David Brainerd, missionary to the Native Americans, has been admired for his single minded perseverance. This book, substantially edited by Jonathan Edwards, has inspired missionaries and preachers since its publication in 1749. John Wesley, Brainerd's contemporary, urges 'Let every preacher read carefully over the Life of David Brainerd'. Jonathan Edwards was American's greatest theologian and is widely read today. Never-the-less, this is his most reprinted book. It is perhaps the most complete edition of David Brainerd's writing. In addition to the Life and Diary of David Brainerd, it contains David Brainerd's Journal (which is distinct from, but is frequently mentioned in, the Life and Diary), three Appendices to the Journal (one on doctrine preached and its effects, and two on various aspects of his missionary endeavors) and concluding Notes and Reflections on all of the above.
