David Brainerd: a Love For the Lost
Life on the American frontier in the early 1700s was very difficult - continually threatened by disease- attack- and brutally cold winters. The English and Native Americans lived side by side- which often led to conflict. David Brainerd arose as a compassionate and fearless missionary to the various Indian tribes in America. Riding on his horse across rivers- over mountains- and through towns- Brainerd carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost- the hurting- and the broken. Notable pastors and missionaries like John Wesley- William Carey- Adoniram Judson and Jim Elliot were all influenced by the life- passion- and dedication of David Brainerd. In this book- Brian Cosby takes the reader on a journey from Brainerd's teenage years on the farm to his expulsion from Yale- from preaching on the frontier to his death in his late 20s. The reader will be encouraged- inspired- and challenged by the perseverance and single-minded devotion of the early American missionary to the Indians- David Brainerd.
