Synopsis: Who was David from the Bible?David filled many roles: shepherd, warrior, hero, poet, and king. But he was also a liar, murderer, deceiver, and adulterer.Riddled with disappointment, the story of Israel’s shepherd-king strikes home because, like us, David was only human. In David, we see a man whose only recourse was to trust in God for comfort, strength, and deliverance.In this captivating retelling of David’s life, you will also meet several characters who left marks in the history of this shepherd-king: the prophet Samuel, the giant Goliath, King Saul and his son (Jonathan) and daughter (Michael), Bathsheba, and the prophet Nathan.If you’re wondering who David was, or want to know how David’s faith journey impacts your own, this book is for you!David: Israel’s Shepherd-King is part of the God’s People series by Northwestern Publishing House. It’s a wonderful collection about the lives and times of some of God’s chosen people. Plots and settings have been taken directly from the Bible, and each book features beautifully detailed, full-color illustrations.
