  <default_description>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. Their benefit ultimately brought about his early  death at the age of 29. This book not only offers a captivating story, but  an uplifting buoy for those who are weary, distant, or discouraged.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A most remarkable story of a remarkable man. A story of courage, and great self-denial so that he could serve his God, in the worst of circumstances and the worst of health; and even as he lay on his death-bed, God's glory was uppermost in his mind.<br/>No one could read this, and be unmoved.

    <body><![CDATA[Yale had done a marvelous job of rounding out the story of Brainerd. They place side-by-side the &quot;diary&quot; of Brainerd which was edited by Jonathan Edwards and the unredacted version. Turns out Brainerd was a severely depressed young man. His devotion to the work despite his crippling mental...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46921753">more...</a>]]></body>
