Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: The life of David appeals to every man and woman, because we can all identify with his struggles. Each of us has had to face big battles, jealous friends, and unexpected temptations. David saw public successes, but they seemed to be followed by personal mistakes. He knew both exhilaration and discouragement, victory and defeat. Throughout it all, he maintained a heart for God. Perhaps the reason people love David so much is because he opened his life up and allowed others to know his feelings. His psalms are filled with words both joyous and dejected, glad-hearted and sad-spirited. He sang songs of tender love, and songs of terrible wrath. We can see our own lives reflected in the life of David. That’s why we love his story. In these twelve chapters we will explore the victory over Goliath and the high cost David paid for his success we will see how he treated people, look at his mistakes, and examine his darkest days. For David, like all of us, was an ordinary man, thrust into an extraordinary situation. A lowly shepherd, he was called by God to become king over Israel. He was a tender warrior, and this study of his life will help us to see him in a new light. DR DAVID JEREMIAH is the senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California.
