David Brainerd, Part 1

Our friends at Banner of Truth have published an attractive new edition of a genuine classic: The Diary & Journal of David Brainerd.  The book will be of special interest to anyone with a vested interested in missions and evangelism.  In other words, it ought to be of interest to every serious Christian.  A man of intense devotion to Jesus Christ, with a passion for reaching Native Americans (Indians, he called them) with the gospel, Brainerd died when he was still in his twenties.  In coming weeks I hope to share a few excerpts from his writings, which have far outlived his all-too-brief (as it seems to us) ministry.
