Spiritual Leadership in The Pattern of David

<p>David was anything but perfect-lustful as a husband weak as a father and partial as a leader-yet he is the only one in all Scripture to be called a man after God's own heart.</p><p>What was it in David that attracted God this much?</p><p>After the historic victory with Goliath the life of this humble shepherd boy seemingly took a downward turn. In all the series of unfortunate circumstances God was at work rerouting his life. Starting with a group of riff-raff this cave dweller became the leader of an exceptional army because God wanted him to become a maverick king:</p><ul><li>In battle he modeled invincibility.</li><li>In decisions he sought God's mind for clarity wisdom and equity.</li><li>In loneliness he wrote with transparent vulnerability and quiet trust.</li><li>In friendship he was loyal to the end.</li><li>In statesmanship he portrayed integrity and humility.</li></ul><p>What an outstanding man! But what is it that distinguished David as one of God's greatest men?</p><p>Come along with professor Z.T. Fomum in this down-to-earth book on Spiritual Leadership for an in-depth study on the making of this poet musician courageous warrior and shepherd of God's people-a man of passion and destiny with a God-dependent life of strength and leadership worth emulating.</p>
