The Heart of David

A Heart Like His by Beth Moore with David McCleskey
Intimate Reflections on the Life of David

"The study of David excites me for many reasons," says author Beth Moore. In addition to perhaps best prefiguring Christ and the Gospel in relation to other Old Testament characters, David painfully proves the depths to which one can fall after reaching such heights. "The contrast between these consecutive seasons of David's life is staggering."

A Heart Like His begins with a look at the sheep-tending, giant-slaying boy and an amazing covenant with God. With poignant, bittersweet detail, it recounts the doomed friendship of Jonathon and David, a king's ascension to a long awaited throne, and a rooftop decision that would mark a turning point in the character of a man.
