The Diary of David Brainerd

Never intended for publication, this diary of David Brainerd bares the man’s soul and his hunger to win the lost at any cost. Recognizing his physical and spiritual frailties as but the backdrop to plainly display the tremendous power of God, he records his longing for holiness, his joy in fasting and prayer and the constant belief that God saved us not for what we can do for Him, but solely for His good pleasure. This diary is a challenge at every level, certainly not for the faint of heart! His life of utter abandon to God’s will, his unmatched fervor and his depth of spiritual wisdom make his brief life of 29 years more amazing than ever.
