Lessons
from the life of David.
"The conversion of a soul is the miracle of a moment; the manufacture
of a saint is the task of a lifetime."
The turbulent and triumphant incidents in the life of the shepherd-king
David illustrate that truth most clearly. Despite his faults, great
and small, David became a man who wondously understood and reflected
the mind of a perfect God.
Beloved author Alan Redpath brings David to life and shows us how
we can learn from a man who was utterly human but reached for the
divine. Richly blending insights from 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles,
and portions of the Psalms, Redpath demonstrates how God shapes those
who are responsive to His love, even through times of trial and despair.
Through an understanding of David's great faith in the midst of trouble
and tranquility, we can draw closer to God and come into a better
understanding of His grace and salvation.
