This devotional book traces the course of David's life through his autobiographical Psalms: From triumphant boy hero to persecution in the court of Saul. From gifted musician to compromised adulterer and murderer. From his exile on the run to his coronation as the leader of God's people.

The King's songs are a treasure-chest of jewels, telling not mere history but timeless truths about the King of Kings himself, David's magnificent God. With warmth and insight, the author draws out the lessons David learned in his turbulent life with the Lord and the rich gems he has bequeathed to followers of God today.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This devotional book looks at the Psalms and how they can trace the course of David's life as well as revealing insights into God's nature. The author looks deeply at 13 psalms giving much of the background information about David's life as he goes along. He doesn't spend too much time relating what is being explored to present-day Christian life, instead allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions. This is a scholarly work which offers Hebrew words (transliterated into English) as well as the author's comments on various translations and their deficiencies and requires a fair bit of extra Bible reading and other research to fully appreciate the text. It's not a book for a quick devotional study but will reward those who spend time with it.
