Story4.5 out of 5 stars 73
Leonard Ravenhill's call to revival is as timely now as it was when it was published over 50 years ago. The message is fearless and often radical as he expounds on the disparity between the New Testament church and the church today. Why Revival Tarries contains the heart of his message. AW Tozer called Ravenhill "a man sent from God" who "appeared at [a] critical moment in history", just as the Old Testament prophets did. Included are questions for group and individual study.

Written by John Owen, one of the best known of the Puritans. In The Mortification of Sin, John Owen insisted on the importance of the Christian dealing effectively with their sinful tendencies and attitudes. He believed that God, through his Word and Spirit, had provided the guidelines and the power for this to be achieved. Owen effectively dismisses various excuses for not engaging in self scrutiny and yet avoids the current trend of self absorption.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 53
Jonathan Edwards was a Protestant theologian and a leading revivalist preacher during the Great Awakening. Edwards wrote Freedom of the Will in the 18th century while working as a missionary to a tribe of Housatonic Native Americans in Massachusetts. He carefully drew out the differences of thought between the Calvinist and Arminian theologies and sided with the Calvinist views on humanity's will. Edwards sought to understand God's foreknowledge and how it related to free will and the ability to choose between good and evil.

Within five years, he had become the best-known minister in London. Two years later, following the Sepoy Mutiny, he conducted a service of national humiliation in the Crystal Palace that was attended by 24,000 people. But this volume is far from being a record of human fame and success....

As an individual, you may ask, how can I, an average person, do anything to reach the lost? Or if a pastor, you may be discouraged and feel ineffective with your congregation, much less the world. Or perhaps you don't yet have a heart for the lost. Whatever your excuse, it's time to change. Overcome yourself and learn to make a difference in your church and the world around you. It's time to become an effective soul winner for Christ.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 140
Beginning with the story of Stephen from the book of Acts, considered the first Christian martyr, the drama builds to the passion of the early Church's persecution under the Roman Empire. The hardy and radical faith of those first believers spawned medieval missionary movements that spread the gospel across Europe and into England, Scotland, and Ireland. As the story continues, it places a significant emphasis on the sufferings of the early Protestants during the Reformation.

The dramatic autobiography of one of China's dedicated, courageous, and intensely persecuted house church leaders. This is the gripping story of how God took a young, half-starved boy from a poor village in Henan province and placed him on the front line for Jesus, in the face of impossible odds. Instead of focusing on the many miracles or experiences of suffering, however, Yun prefers to focus on the character and beauty of Jesus.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Narration is perfect
I decided to give this book a try after hearing it mentioned by John Piper in his book, "Desiring God" and reading exerpts on John Piper's website.
I sampled the audio first before I made my purchase and after listening to Nick Cordileone's narration, I knew I had to hear to the whole thing. Nick Cordileone's vocal pitch, pacing and expression are perfect for this book. I can't imagine David Brainerd himself doing a better job. Also, the quality of the recording is extremely good, in spite of the occasional instance of repetition.
Listening to this book has changed my life. The passion young David Brainerd expressed in his journal writings of his love for God and his desire to live his life for the glory of God is profound and awe-inspiring. If the longing of your heart is to know God more deeply, you can't go wrong with this book.

Totally given to God
Nick Cordileone really brings David Brainerd to life! You feel as if you are hearing his voice as he grieves, rejoices, and records the events of his life.
At times I felt great pity for Brainerd who continually abased himself for his own imperfections. I wonder if he really ever felt loved by God as he should have.

Kept True w/sensible changes
I have the book and when the recording is compared to it, there are very slight changes, all for the purpose of making some archaic language understandable.
Brilliantly done so that the 17th century flavor is kept.

David Brainerd's Diary changed my life..
What made the experience of listening to Life of David Brainerd the most enjoyable?
This is a long sometimes almost depressing diary of a young missionary to the Native Americans during colonial times. It is worth every minute. The fire that burned in the heart of this young man for the souls and for the heart of God is compelling. The sincerity of David Brainerd and his true passion for his fellowman is humbling. The narration is very well done.

One of those "life changing" books
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This book (along with Foxe's Book of Martyrs and Pilgrims Progress) should be required reading for all Christians. Brainerd's introspective life is a great source of inspiration and promotes a strong desire to live a life pleasing to God, not self.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

AMAZING!!! A must read for the mature Christian!
This is an incredible book. I bought it for several people after finishing it. As someone who is farely mature Christian by the standards of this day and age, I felt myself barely able to relate to his journals because his view of God is so high!
This should be mandatory reading for pastors!

an example and encouragement in humility & grace
Brainerd is an example and encouragement and humility and Grace. His story unfolds and continues to reveal ongoing sanctification love for the Lord and love for the church. and as the Lord uses him as an instrument you can see the Lord working in his life and changing his heart conforming him more to the likeness of Christ and drawing him closer to Himself. what an example that we should all follow to be diligent and persevere until the Lord takes us home.

Sincere and encouraging
This man's sincerity in his approach towards the work of God is clearly expressed in his journal. Holy Spirit revival ended up going wherever Brainerd set foot. This account of his life details his struggles, followed by his tremendous success.
