Best David Brainerd Biography for Children

David Brainerd was a wonderful, godly missionary, just the kind of man we should be reading biographies of to ourselves and to our children. He wrote so extensively in his personal diary that we can know a tremendous deal about his daily life in preaching to the Indian tribes. I have read several of his other biographies, and though packed with information, they were tedious to read through especially to elementary age children. This book, though, is riveting to all ages. Denise Stubbs has done a tremendous job of writing this book in a very through way but with an easily understandable continuing flow of thought, something that other Brainerd biographies tend to lack. The Gospel of Jesus Christ, which David Brainerd purposed to live his life to tell others about, is intertwined throughout the whole book in a logical, reverent, and bibically and doctrinally correct manner. If you are looking for worthy missionary biographies to read, make *sure* you include this one at the top of your list! (Then go to Ellisabeth Elliot's books on her husband Jim Elliot).
