Bible scholar Stephen J. Lennox immerses us in the great king's ancient world, connecting timeless spiritual truths with real life. David remains a powerful example of an unconditional heart after God; and he shows us how, through all of life's twists and turns, we can also become God's dearly favored friend.
There is a faith that God calls favored.
For all of David's great successes, he suffered as many tragic and moral failures. So why would God nevertheless describe him as a man after my own heart?
Throughout the great king's story, God cherishes most the man's loyal and sincere heart for him . . . even when David would need to repent of profound sin. David's life is a pattern for all of us as we negotiate through our own stories - in the midst of failing, we too can remain faithful lovers of God.
