King David, an accomplished poet, gifted musician and respected leader, Israel\'s warrior king left an indelible imprint on the life of his people. In spite of his consistent inconsistency, David was known as a man after God\'s own heart. Though his human passions sometimes caused him to stumble and fall, the biblical texts which describe his rise and reign are never an attempt to photoshop his human failings. Though he struggled with things like lust, anger and pride of accomplishment, his passion for God was legendary. Because he is so easy to identify with, David\'s story is practical and spiritually enriching for anyone willing to take the time to mine its riches.
