King David: Favored, Fallible, Forgiven (Just Like Us) - Paperback

by Arthur D. Bright (Author)

The story of David is familiar to many; however, to experiencea walk with David gives a different perspective. Often whenScripture is read, it is read as an observer or spectator ratherthan a participator in the life of the biblical character. Moreover, there is the tendency to readily embrace righteous behaviorwhile disconnecting from the act of shameful disobedience.This disconnect generates quick judgment, while neglecting toconfess to the evident mirroring of one's own life of disappointingGod. The presentation of King David's life as written by Mr.Bright greatly demonstrates the dual behavior of humanityin such a way that he compels intimate engagement with theman called David. It is awesome when you can have a personaljourney feeling a part of the story with laughter, frustration, disappointment, pleasure, pride, and celebration. Truly, it iseasy to recognize the "US" in the story of David the King.Thanks Arthur, job well done Rev. Dr. Wanda K. Paulk HolderThrough David's life story, the book endeavors to demonstratehow God's relationship with His children during his times, over 3,000 years ago, mirrors our relatoonship with God today.David's history reveals how God supports and provides for uswhen we are in, and even when we are out, of His will.
