THE DIARY & JOURNAL OF DAVID BRAINERD
Banner of Truth. 792 pages. £17.00
ISBN 978-0-85151-954-8

When John Newton, William Carey, Henry Martyn, Robert Murray M’Cheyne and John Piper all agree that a book is hugely worth reading, who dares disagree? This is a gem of a book, albeit a large gem, with a marvellous introduction, and a memorable foreword by Jonathan Edwards, who knew David Brainerd personally.

Brainerd worked as an indefatigable and effective itinerant evangelist among American Indians in the 1740s. The Diary records his subjective, inner life, the Journal is a more objective account of his work. They cover roughly the same short period.
