David Brainerd: Review of his life and diary

David Brainerd was a Puritan of Puritans. Schooled in Calvinist theology, every word, thought and deed were all for the glory and majesty of God.

Brainerd was a missionary sent to the Indians in Pennsylvania in the 17th century.

Throughout his diary, which he was compelled to keep for his missionary board in Scotland, he not only battles against the old Adamic nature (something all Christians do on an hourly basis) but more regrettably for him, was how he never had mature Christian company/companions to help him reach the vast numbers of Indians, in numerous regions on the East coast of America, even though he travelled for five weeks (several hundred miles) searching for somebody to replace his solitary existence, which he lived with for two years.
