Publisher Description
KING DAVID was a complicated, conflicted man of flesh. But too often he is viewed as an Americanized shepherd boy on a Sunday school
felt board or a New Testament saint alongside the Virgin Mary. Not only does this neglect one of the Bible's most complex stories of sin and
redemption; it also bypasses the gritty life lessons inherent in the amazing true story of David.
Mark Rutland shreds the felt-board character, breaks down the sculpted marble statue, and unearths the real David of the Bible. Both noble
and wretched, neither a saint nor a monster, at times victorious and other times a failure, David was through it all a man after God's own heart.

Leadership Classroom
I read this book while on leave for medical reasons. The deeper I read the more I found I needed to read. It not only provides leadership 101 lessons but brings to life the biblical history of David, putting into context.

David the Great
This book is an amazing recount of King David’s Life, Love and Struggles. I feel like I have gotten to know the man outside of his conquest and infamous sin of betrayal. Great read and a must for a greater understanding of the wonderful book of Psalms ..
