The Story of David faithfully follows his Bible history: from Davids early record of a shepherd boy to a mighty king from man of war to one who contemplates a better way. Davids 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 hereSaul Jonathan Bathsheba Absolom but seen from Davids perspective. The poetic form used gives the author a published poet opportunity to use language befitting the ecstasy of Davids emotions.
