Description

A Documentary (DVD, 57 minutes)

.

Explore the life and influence of David Brainerd, the subject of the most popular book written by Jonathan Edwards, America’s greatest theologian. The documentary answers the questions, “Who was David Brainerd, and why has he had such a lasting international influence?” It emphasizes David’s sufferings and weaknesses, demonstrating that God loves to use weak things to show off his strength—a much needed emphasis in today’s evangelical church. The DVD includes on-location footage from more than a dozen places where Brainerd lived. It features diary narrations by Tim Keesee (Frontline Missions International) and interviews with exceptional scholars on the topics of David Brainerd, Jonathan Edwards, and evangelical spirituality:
