About this listen

 David Brainerd's diary is a poignant testament to the relentless pursuit of faith amidst the challenges of missionary life in colonial America. As a Puritan of Puritans, Brainerd's unwavering commitment to Calvinist theology shaped every facet of his existence, from his thoughts to his actions, all dedicated to the glorification of God. Sent as a missionary to the Native Americans in Pennsylvania during the 18th century, Brainerd's diary chronicles his struggles, triumphs, and deep spiritual introspection throughout his brief yet impactful life.

Within the pages of Brainerd's diary, readers are confronted with the raw honesty of a man grappling with his humanity and the divine calling upon his life. Despite his fervent dedication, Brainerd faced profound challenges, including isolation, illness, and the seeming fruitlessness of his missionary endeavours. Yet, amidst the depths of despair, Brainerd's faith remained resolute, offering profound insights into the nature of spiritual warfare, the struggle against sin, and the enduring hope in God's sovereignty.

Through Brainerd's words, readers are transported to a time when missionary work was arduous, perilous, and often misunderstood. His diary serves as a timeless reminder of the sacrifices made by those who heed the call to spread the Gospel and a source of inspiration for contemporary believers navigating their spiritual journeys. Brainerd's legacy endures not only in the lives he touched but also in the enduring lessons of faith, perseverance, and unwavering devotion found within the pages of his remarkable diary.
