Biography recommendations

[Cody]

Finishing Arnold Dallimore’s 2 volumn biography on George Whitefield. Loved it.
Does anyone have a biography recommendation that is equal or better for a nice encouraging read?

Hi Cody!

Though I have not read it in its entirety as of yet, I can heartily recommend John Paton's Autobiography, John G. Paton: The Autobiography of the Pioneer Missionary to the New Hebrides (Vanuatu), put out by Banner of Truth.

Hello,

Edward Morgan's John Elias is most excellent.

Here is a bit on the man.

Spurgeon's 2-volume autobiography. Anything by Iain Murray is excellent. Memoir and Remains of R.M.M'Cheyne is my favorite book ever, put together by his best friend, Andrew Bonar.

Iain Murray's biography of Jonathan Edwards is terrific!

 

[DanSSwing]

Bonar's bio of Robert Murray M'Cheyne.

 

[Jeri Tanner]

The Life and Diary of David Brainerd, by D.B with Jonathan Edwards as editor. He was a devout Christian, and missionary to the Indians/Native Americans, especially in New Jersey. He died before he was 30 of tuberculosis after a life of total sacrifice and suffering. It is so inspiring. The part I found hardest to read ( I have asthma) is when he is stuck in freezing winter in an Indian tent, and it was too smoky inside to breath and too cold outside to breath. I felt like I was right there with him and feeling his agony. I'm only 15 or 20 minutes from the main places he ministered.
