In every era of church history, God raises up those He uses for His glory and the advance of the gospel. David Brainerd is one of those men greatly used by God in his generation and beyond. Not well known during his short life, Brainerd has emerged from the shadows for future generations in Jonathan Edwards’s biographical account of his life. This book, compiled by Dustin Benge, gives us all access to an otherwise daunting work. As you read you will learn something of the deep spirituality of Brainerd and what he can teach us today about how to follow Christ on the path of holiness.” Steven J. Lawson, President, OnePassion Ministries, Dallas
“One man influenced Jonathan Edwards, John and Charles Wesley, and William Carey, as well as countless others. That man was David Brainerd. He was a missionary. He famously got kicked out of Yale for telling one of his professors a chair has more of the Spirit of God than the professor did. And he never made it to his thirtieth birthday. What drew these stalwarts to Brainerd? That’s easyhis piety. Beware of this book and the piety of David Brainerd. It is contagious.” Stephen J. Nichols, President of Reformation Bible College and Chief Academic Officer of Ligonier Ministries
