Description
Publisher's Description of David Brainerd: A Love for the Lost by Brian Cosby (Trailblazers)
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.
The Trailblazer’s series collects great stories from Christians of the past and delivers them to the young people of today. This gripping and astonishing story from Brian Cosby will challenge young readers to trust God as David Brainerd did.
