The Lord always shows mercy to his people. But there are times when the Lord, in his own soverrign wisdom, decides to smile more graciously upon his people. Such a time came in Israel of old when God gave her David. What an incredible man David was! A warrior to fight her battles, a king to lead her to unprecedented glory, an inspired poet to fill her worship with songs of praise-David was all this and more. 'Nothing in the Old Testament is more dramatic than the life of David, and Roger ellsworth has brought the highlights-and 'lowlights'-into focus with rare perception. Best of all, he provides page after page of down-to-earth, warm-hearted, practical application that will surely be a means of great help to all who have ears to hear. I wholeheartedly commend it.'
