Journey with David Brainerd: Forty days or forty nights with David Brainerd

"I see the value of Christian biography tonight, as I have been reading Brainerd's Diary. . . . Enjoyed much sweetness (as he puts it) in the reading of the last months of Brainerd's life. . . . Was much encouraged to think ofa life ofgodliness in the light of an early death." - JIM ELLIOT, MARTYRED MISSIONARY TO THE AUCA INDIANS "Read David Brainerd today and yesterday, and find as usual my spirit greatly benefited by it. I long to be like him; let me forget the world and be swallowed up in a desire to glorify God." - HENRY MARTYN, PIONEER MISSIONARY TO INDIA "Let every preacher read carefully over the life of David Brainerd. Let us be followers ofhim, as he was of Christ, in absolute self-devotion, in total deafness to the world and in fervent love to God and man." - JOHN WESLEY, FOUNDER OF METHODISM This book brings together in a devotional guide forty passages from David Brainerd's writing. Each is followed by a prayer which helps the reader grasp the profound implications of Brainerd's thoughts for life today. Dr. Richard Hasler is a pastor in Hornell, N. Y., and a lecturer in philosophy and religion at Alfred University. He received the Ph.D. from the Hartford Seminary Foundation for his work on New England Puritanism.
