Summary: Excellent Book About a Great and Flawed King!
Review: Consistent with Swindoll's writing style, the reader sees the character as described by the Bible - both good and bad.While David was Israel's greatest king, he also committed grevious sins that adversely impacted those around him. Even so, he was described as " a man after God's heart". Some of the excellent points Swindoll covers in his book include: 1. God can use our talents and use them for His glory.
2. Do not fight battles in your own strength! Rely on the
Lord and His timing and methods.
3. How our bad decisions affect others.
4. God cares about the details of your life - the better you
know your standing with the Lord, the freer you are.
5. We must not abuse God's grace to sin and expect no
consequences.
6. When God says no to our dreams, it may be because of
redirection in our lives.
7. The importance of having a thick skin - if you want God
to use you, you need to shed your ultrasensitivity.
8. Important notes about true friendship. All in all, an excellent read that can encourage us and sober us about the impact we have on other people!

Summary: David - Ancient Life Still Relevant For New Millenium Living
Review: David, though a king, was an ordinary man like us - full of emotions and struggles, and passionate in life. Charles has taken the ancient pages of David's life and unfolded them in simple but powerfully relevant ways. I found the David in me rising up, and renewed passion aflame to meet the challenges facing me, as I studied this book chapter by chapter in my daily devotions.

Summary: A book written with passion and destiny!
Review: Every time a pick up a book from Swindoll's "Great Lives from God's Word" series I think that nothing can be better than the last one. Starting with Joseph and then reading Moses gave me the impression that these were his best. Now I've returned back and read David and continue to find that brother Chuck has been blessed with a deep understanding about God's word, God's people and God's ways. As with the other books, Chuck doesn't leave any stone unturned in David's life and digs deep into the things that we can all relate to. I recommend this reading especially to those who are facing the giants in life whether they are physical or spiritual. King David is a great study for all of us seeking to be a "man after God's own heart."

Summary: Helped me to understand the life of this Bible character!
Review: Fantastic biography of the life of David. I now understand what the trials and triumphs of his life were and it encourages me tremendously to not give up on God. Written with brilliant clarity, passion, wit, truth. An excellent all around profile on a man and also into the character of God.
