William: Very interesting and well-written. The author draws many parallels to David's life with God's will, in a biblical manner. Loved it!

Bryony Holyoake: …..about the story of David in the Bible.
Inspired to study the life of David, he being renowned for many events, including the sending of his leading Military Soldier to the front line, his goal to ensure his death in action, having taken his wife in adultery.
David tried manipulation, whilst seemingly being the man called by God to be King of Israel.
How could I reconcile such actions by David, supposedly God’s “man”, yet so obviously taking actions that are “not good” by any standard.
The story, “soap like” in it’s content.
I want to learn how a “man of God” actually remains in God’s favour, when to me, his actions are so profoundly wrong.
This publication, I hope will help me.

Denise: I had this book years ago & gave it to a friend. I have read a lot of Christian books & this is probably in the top 2 of the best I've ever read. Charles Swindoll's books have never been disappointing. This look at the life of David is encouraging in that Christians are not perfect, just human & forgiven. I order this 2nd one to refresh my memory. My first one had larger print but the print is smaller in this one.

Darren Hogarth: I’ve read most of Swindoll’s “Great Life” series and this was the first one I read that got me hooked. The story of David is about the man behind the greatest story in the bible and arguably the greatest story ever, since it’s true, and reveals how God will use flawed people (like all of us) to become great!!

Raphael Teixeira: The book doesn't delve very deeply in the analysis of David's life and doesn't bring any additional information that can't be found in the Bible. However, it's well written, a fast read and perhaps makes it easier to understand the most important aspects of David's life and their meaning than just reading the Bible would. It's definitely a good book, but fell a little short of expectations on details.

Rubens Lux: Amazing - a great book from a great author. Will definitely keep it in my collection. Good condition and package.

Betsabe Arcos: Libro recomendado al 100%. Dios usa hombres comunes, aunque estos tengan que pasar el proceso, solo basta un corazón dispuesto y humilde.

Hepzi: David's life spanned a multitude of characters, tight spots, historical turning points, spiritual highs, messianic prophecy, and character lessons. Where to begin? This book does a good job of "biting it off" into a manageable study. Our Small Group needed some sort of "back stop" study book to organize itself, and Swindoll's book was very good for this purpose. There ARE plenty of very important incidents in Davdi's life that Swindoll doesn't address, I assume for space reasons. It is a book of some 24 chapters, so even with Swindoll's editing, you are probably looking at a 6 month study.

Anyway our Group simply loved the study of "the man after God's own heart". We wound up digging in to a much more exegetical study, and using Swindoll's book as a sort of skeleton outline, while we went verse by verse. Just about every pesky boss, ex-wife, work rival or rebellious teenager has a counterpart in David's life!! You name it, he saw it. We had some great conversations.

One word of caution: We found that there are two separate versions of this book. The hardback version is written as simply text, similar to a sermon. It is longer. The paperback is truncated version of...

kone: I've always admired Dr. Chuck Swindoll's radio ministry, as I believe he preaches the unadulterated Word of God. His Insights For Living are lessons I have carefully listened to and tried to apply to my own life. A while back, I recall him doing a series of radio programs on the life of King David, and I believe those programs resulted in him writing this book.

I heartily recommend this book to those who desire a study of King David and his life and times. Swindoll takes his information directly from Kings and Chronicles, and considers the life of David from when he was a young boy tending his father's sheep, to an old man of 70, about to die. Swindoll tells King David's story and the lessons Christians can learn from the most written about person in the entire Old Testament. Swindoll is a list-maker, and in each chapter he provides a list of key ideas or lessons to be learned by King David's attitude or actions that are applicable to believers today. For example, what kind of mindset is required to face down a giant challenge, such as a Goliath? What does it mean to be "A man after God's own heart?" How can a man of faith commit adultery and then have a man murdered in...
