This one is good, though a bit depressing due to Mr. Brainerd's "melancholy" personality.

My favorites are the old biographies of various Scottish covenanters--usually ancient hardbound volumes that I find in our bookshelves or in friends' bookshelves.
Last Sabbath I picked up a biography of Duncan Matheson, (http://www.amazon.com/Labors-Duncan...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279224475&sr=1-1) and it was excellent. Looking forward to the next time we visit that family, so that I can finish it.
Another one I really liked was the biography of Neil Cameron, though the best part is the beginning, which he wrote himself. The end (written by Rev. D. Beaton) is not as interesting. Out of print, but available here: http://www.amazon.com/biographical-...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279224568&sr=1-1
Other good ones that I've not yet finished--Ministers and Men of the Far North by Rev. A. Auld (out of print) and Scots Worthies by John Howe, still available: http://www.amazon.com/Scots-Worthie...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279224663&sr=1-1. Both are collections of short biographies of various people, some martyred for their faith.
