The Story of David- A Retelling

The Story of David faithfully follows his Bible history: from David’s early record of a shepherd boy to a mighty king from man of war to one who contemplates a better way. David’s deep love for God carries him beyond disappointments to gratitude to God. As David ages he becomes more introspective; he becomes a real-life character with deep spiritual longings. All familiar Bible characters are here—Saul Jonathan Bathsheba Absolom— but seen from David’s perspective. The poetic form used gives the author a published poet opportunity to use language befitting the ecstasy of David’s emotions.
