Last week I recommended Day of War to compliment our study on the life of David. This week I have another recommendation for you. The book is David: A Man of Passion & Destiny by Chuck Swindoll.
This book is not necessarily an in depth scholarly look at the life of David, but it serves to draw out some very practical applications for life. I appreciate many of the things the author had to say and will be using some of these things for the upcoming message series at Lord of Life.
For the most part this book is a chronological look at the life of David. It is hard to cover all the aspects of David’s life in just one book, but Swindoll is able to cover most all of the high points. He does a great job of helping the reader to understand the circumstances and the events of these stories. He has a skill for painting a clear picture of what is happening. I enjoyed reading this book and I bet that you will as well.
