Summary

King David was a complicated, conflicted man of flesh. But too often he is viewed as an Americanized shepherd boy on a Sunday school felt board or a New Testament saint alongside the Virgin Mary. Not only does this neglect one of the Bible’s most complex stories of sin and redemption, it also bypasses the gritty, life lessons inherent in the amazing true story of David.

Mark Rutland shreds the felt-board character, breaks down the sculpted marble statue, and unearths the real David of the Bible. Both noble and wretched, neither a saint nor a monster, at times victorious and other times a failure, David was, through it all, a man after God’s own heart.

What a book!

Well written - very creative and imaginative…
And we’ll read by my favourite reader Maurice England!

It gave me a different perspective on God’s heart.

The leadership lessons were practical but more importantly it gave me hope that God will always be faithful even when i am not.
