Synopsis

Discover more about the life of the real King David and transform your life as you learn from his successes and failures.The Bible tells us that David was a man after God's own heart, but what does that mean in practice? David, the Old Testament shepherd, king, and psalmist, offers an answer in the shape of his own incredible life.Poet, musician, courageous warrior, and national statesman, David distinguished himself as one of God's greatest men. He modeled invincible confidence in the face of impossible circumstances. He made decisions with wisdom and equity. And he wrote with transparent vulnerability and quiet trust. But how well do we really know David?In Great Lives: David, the first volume in Charles Swindoll's bestselling Great Lives series, Swindoll gives us a closer look at this incredible man who had his fair share of difficulties. Throughout his life, David was gripped by destructive passion, rocked by family chaos and personal tragedy, and motivated by political expediency. Like all of us, David was far from perfect, but Swindoll teaches us that David had the chance to become great when he placed himself at the Lord's disposal.As Swindoll guides us through David's remarkable life and legacy, he asks and answers key questions along the way, including:How did David become the national hero of God's chosen people?Why is he the one character in the Bible described as "a man after God's own heart?"How can modern believers become people after God's own heart? Join Swindoll as he teaches us that we can all endeavor to live a life marked by the humility, dependability, and integrity of David.

Goodreads review by Jim on May 11, 2012

David is a man that all persons can relate to. He experience every temptation I know. At least the ones i have face. Even though God called him "A man after my own heart" David committed the most ghastly of sins. Swindoll presents a vivid picture of a man like us all; struggling to do what is right......more

I love Chuck Swindoll's writing and sermons. This is another very good book. A wonderful way to get to know the person of David, the King of Israel. The reason this book only gets 3 stars from me is because Swindoll doesn't deal with the final chapter of David's life when he instructs Solomon to get......more

Goodreads review by RoseMary on November 23, 2014

With intermittent reading of the Old Testament, David was an enigma to me. After reading this book, I feel like I know and understand his character, actions and why he is often referred to with the line: David had a heart for God. Mr Swindoll brings David alive to the reader like a great history prof......more

Goodreads review by Brady on October 24, 2024

Praise the lord that he’s left us with imperfect people whose stories we can learn from, admire, and be warned by. And by golly Chuck can really bring those stories to life. Some things that I would never have thought twice about reading on my own had me tearing up. This is a heart filled and passio......more
