The Life and Diary of David Brainerd
Edited by: Jonathan Edwards
By: Philip E. Howard Jr.
A remarkable story of genuine piety, in heart and practice. The autobiographical account of a courageous preacher who daily “walked with God,” but who also mourned when the light of God’s countenance was dimmed or absent.
Taken from Jonathan Edward’s edited versions of David Brainerd’s Diary and Journal, this record of the self-denying life and strenuous labors of David Brainerd as he presented the gospel to American Indians. It was originally published as one of the titles in the Wycliffe series of Christian classics.
Preceding the Brainerd accounts is a brief but revealing biographical sketch of Jonathan Edwards by Philip E. Howard Jr.
