Publisher's Description

Best remembered for his missionary work among the American Indians, David Brainerd (1718-1747) was a central character in eighteenth-century American evangelism. "Sweetly Set on God" introduces readers to the life and journal writings of this pioneer of modern missionary work. Dustin Benge begins by presenting the events of Brainerd's short life and the intense personal spiritual piety that undergirded his ministry. Then, in fifty-one excerpts drawn from Brainerd's journal, readers will discover his evangelical humiliation, his understanding that God had altered his sinful human nature, his sensitivity to sin, and his holiness of life. Read this book and see if you come to view Brainerd as Jonathan Edwards, his biographer, did: as "a remarkable instance of true and eminent Christian piety in heart and practice."

“One man influenced Jonathan Edwards, John and Charles Wesley, and William Carey, as well as countless others. That man was David Brainerd. He was a missionary. He famously got kicked out of Yale for telling one of his professors a chair has more of the Spirit of God than the professor did. And he never made it to his thirtieth birthday. What drew these stalwarts to Brainerd? Thats easyhis piety. Beware of this book and the piety of David Brainerd. It is contagious.”

“n every era of church history, God raises up those He uses for His glory and the advance of the gospel. David Brainerd is one of those men greatly used by God in his generation and beyond. Not well known during his short life, Brainerd has emerged from the shadows for future generations in Jonathan Edwardss biographical account of his life. This book, compiled by Dustin Benge, gives us all access to an otherwise daunting work. As you read you will learn something of the deep spirituality of Brainerd and what he can teach us today about how to follow Christ on the path of holiness.”
