David Brainerd dedicated much of his short life to preaching the
gospel to Native American peoples. Josiah Pratt's 1834 biography
uses Brainerd's own journal and letters to examine the character of
an extraordinary man and expose the discrepancy between Brainerd's
self-lacerating writings and the exceptional fortitude made evident
by his deeds. It includes Brainerd's moving and eloquent account of
his own conversion, his chronic illness and the privations he
suffered during a life he described as 'a constant mixture of
consolations and conflicts'. This fascinating insight into the
private thoughts and struggles of a remarkable figure charts his
ceaseless pursuit of God and the battle between his inexhaustible
religious fervour and his chronic physical infirmity. The book also
includes Brainerd's reflections on the process of conversion and
the signs of godliness, and his description of the difficulties he
faced in converting Native Americans.
