David

Poet—Warrior—King

By: JB Shreve

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

His heart and poems of worship continue to inspire us, even three thousand years after he walked this earth. He was the legendary giant slayer, the fearless leader of the mighty men! His kingdom set the benchmark against which all future kings of Israel were measured. Yet, he was also a man of profound contradictions—a womanizer, adulterer, murderer, and a soul seemingly haunted by the shadows of his own sins in his later years. Most incredibly, he was the cherished apple of God’s eye!

Think you know the real King David? In this riveting Biblical study, JB Shreve delves deep into the life of David, the flawed yet divinely beloved hero. David remains one of the most influential characters in all of Scripture. However, many religious approaches reduce him to merely iconic moments of his story and overlook the larger point that Scripture aims to convey about this man. If the Bible’s account of David’s life has not challenged or even offended you, you might be reading it wrong. David, the poet, warrior, and king, embodies a magnificent hero of the faith who illustrates the beauty of God’s love and the purposeful design of life. This is a story about destiny, courage, authenticity, failure, and, most importantly, redemption!

I loved the weaving of historical facts in story form. I did not like the virtual voice reading. It’s not a deal breaker but prefer a real human voice.
