Free Jonathan Edwards Book
October 3, 2007 Posted by Amy Hall
Audio book, that is. This month's free selection at Christianaudio.com is The Life of David Brainerd by Jonathan Edwards. I love biographies, and this one promises to be very interesting:
Though he was orphaned at age fourteen, repeatedly struck with debilitating illnesses, and unfairly expelled from college, Brainerd allowed nothing to deter him from serving God wholeheartedly. He traveled thousands of miles by horseback across treacherous terrain to preach the gospel to remote Indians. His calling required a rugged man–he even slept outside in the cold without cover–yet he constantly displayed a gentle and meek love for people entirely different from himself. Their benefit ultimately brought about his early death at the age of twenty-nine. Like an invigorating shower, the listener will be rejuvenated by Brainerd's life-giving devotional insights, refreshing clarity of purpose, and heartwarming preaching. This book offers not only a captivating story, but an uplifting buoy for those who are weary, distant, or discouraged.
For a preview of the life you'll hear about in this book, you can listen to (or read) John Piper's biographical lecture on Brainerd. (And if you haven't listened to the rest of Piper's biographies, what the heck are you waiting for?!)
