Benge, Dustin Profiles in Reformed Spirituality.

Read by Marcus Jackman

Sweetly Set on God introduces readers to the life and journal writings of David Brainerd (1718-1747), best remembered for his missionary work among the American Indians. Dustin Benge begins by presenting the events of Brainerd's short life and the intense personal spiritual piety that undergirded his pioneering missionary work. Then, in fifty-one excerpts drawn from Brainerd's journal, readers will discover his evangelical humiliation, his understanding that God had altered his sinful human nature, his sensitivity to sin, and his holiness of life. Read this book and come to view Brainerd as Jonathan Edwards, his biographer, did: as 'a remarkable instance of true and eminent Christian piety in heart and practice.' Dustin W. Benge is the editor for Expositor Magazine and the director of operations for OnePassion Ministries. He is the editor of Lifting Up Our Hearts: 150 Prayers of John Calvin and A Journey Toward Heaven: Daily Devotions from the Sermons of Jonathan Edwards. He and his wife, Molli, live in Mobile, Alabama
