Product Description
What does it mean to be someone "after God's own heart?" David, Old Testament shepherd, king and psalmist, offers an answer in the shape of his own life.
In many ways he was a most extraordinary man - intelligent, handsome, abundantly gifted as a poet, musician, warrior and administrator. Yet in other ways he was a most ordinary man - often gripped by destructive passion, rocked by family chaos and personal tragedy, and motivated by political expediency. How did David become the national hero of God's chosen people? Why is he one character in the Bible described as "a man after God's own heart"?
Charles Swindoll explores the many facets of David - from his teenage years and dysfunctional family life to his overwhelming passion for God.
David's life offers hope to all of us. It shows that God can do extraordinary things through ordinary men and women. And David offers an insightful perspective on what it means to be truly spiritual, to become like David - men and women after God's own heart.
It is now in paperback, for the first time.
