Product Description

Only one man in the Old Testament was given the profound description by God himself, "I have found in David...a man after my own heart" (Acts 13:22). Why? Why would God give David such a characterization? Wasn't he also a man of failure? Of contradictions? After all, today, he would provide headlines for scandal: adultery, murder, cover-up, and deception. And despite those issues, there are other pressing questions to ask: What are the qualities of one who has such a heart after God? What does that character look like? This book takes us on a journey in the life of David, discovering what God meant by such a divine inscription regarding the man who would become the greatest and most effective monarch in Israel's history. But we will also discover something greater. As we travel with David, we will soon realize there is a larger story unfolding through David's story. It's God's metanarrative, His-Story! We will find there is a deeper message from God that transcends David's life. The "key" that unlocks such a message is given to us long before David is born and spoken by God: "For those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed" (1 Sam. 2:30). As we begin to understand the meaning of this truth, we will then learn why God gave David such a description. Therefore, it is through the lens of David's life, we learn the meaning and purpose of the Christian life. Why? Because God did not intend such a divine inscription for David only but one which our heavenly Father desires to write on your heart and mine as we pursue to know him.
