| David Brainerd (1718-1747) was an outstanding revivalist and prayer warrior, whose journals have been a source of inspiration and challenge to the Christian Church for three centuries. "Mr. Brainerd had a large acquaintance and correspondence, especially in the latter part of his life, and he did much at writing letters to his absent friends; but the most of his acquaintance living at a great distance from me, I have not been able to obtain copies of many that he wrote: however, the greater part of those which I have seen, are such as appear to me of profitable tendency, and worthy of the public view: I have therefore here added a few of his letters." From Jonathan Edward's advertisement of the original work. The original work is in the public domain and this electronic version was prepared for the The Christian Classics Ethereal Library at http://www.ccel.org/ which is an absolute feast of Christian etexts! Please pay them a visit. You will be enriched by their huge downloadable library of Christian etexts. We are grateful to Harry Plantinga for allowing us to place this great work in the Revival Library. |  |
