Learn how you can face and defeat your giants, just like King David did.
How long has your Goliath dominated your days and pilfered your peace?
Like David, you know well the presence of Goliath. Your Goliath doesn't carry a sword or shield; he brandishes blades of unemployment, abandonment, or depression. Your giant doesn't parade up and down ancient hills; he prances through your office, your bedroom, your classroom. He brings bills you can't pay, addictions you can't resist, a past you can't shake, and a future you can't face.
How long has your Goliath stalked you? Invaded your first thought of the morning and last worry of the night?
David knows a little something about facing giants. The shepherd boy seemingly had little to offer against the nine-foot, nine-inch Goliath. You could read his story and wonder what God saw in him. Throughout his life, David fell as often as he stood, stumbled as often as he conquered.
But for those who know the threat of a Goliath, David gives this reminder:
Focus on Giants—You Stumble.Focus on God—Your Giants Tumble.
Are you ready to face your giant? Let David's story inspire you. The same God who helped him will help you.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Megaseller Lucado, with 40 million books in print, will draw more readers to his fold with this newest release, which focuses on the life of the Old Testament hero David. David crashed onto the scene in ancient Israel when he used a slingshot and one stone to fell the giant Goliath. He went on to become Israel's greatest king. Now Lucado has modern readers slaying their own giants using principles gleaned from David's life. For example, David focused on God, not giants; David's life was threatened by his nemesis King Saul, but David worshiped God; David stole the beautiful Bathsheba from her husband and then had him killed, but God forgave. Lucado goes beyond the storytelling to offer readers concrete actions to help slay their giants using the metaphor of the five stones David chose in his Goliath quest. The stones represent the past, prayer, priority, passion and persistence. Lucado's lively language ("Focus on giants you stumble. Focus on God your giants tumble.") and casual style appeal to the most reluctant readers, yet his spiritual depth will challenge and amaze. Added value comes with the study guide keyed to each chapter. Lucado has a giant winner here.
