This is the reprint of a book first published in 1975 against the background of a spiritual awakening among young people in America, who came to be called 'the Jesus people'. It was designed to help such people assess the reality of their spiritual experience, and grow in understanding of what it means to seek God and be truly committed to his Son.
The book is made up of 40 brief sections which are ideal for reading as part of a daily devotional time. The sections are largely quotations from the extraordinary diaries of David Brainerd, the young 18th-century pioneer missionary to the American Indians, famous for his deep spirituality and unstinting devotion to Christ and his kingdom.
