The Man After God's Own Heart: The Life of David

The life of David will remail supremely fascinating as long as time remains. As the sweet Psalmist of Israel, the ancestor of Christ, and the founder of the dynasty of kings, David will always elicit our highest affections and command our deepest respect. While sketching every period of David's life, F.B. Meyer has concentrated this book on those sections of Scripture that trace the steps that David's character was formed, his sweetest psalms composed, and those manifold experiences encountered that enabled him to interpret and utter the universal heart of man. And it is in these steps that the reader will discover the keys to becoming a man after Gods own heart.

For over a century, the writings of F. B. Meyer have provided Christians with a treasure trove of lasting value, affirming the gospel for every age. Careful editing by Lance Wubbels has helped to sharpen the focus of Meyer's thoroughly biblical portraits and update the language, while retaining their authentic and timeless flavor.
 
F. B. Meyer's devotional studies on biblical characters reflect a rare depth of spiritual experience. It is comforting to find that these great figures were not so different from ourselves.. sometimes weak, indifferent, willful. Yet they had their moments of faith, humility, and courage, and God was able to use these for His greater purposes. God's faithfulness, which not only accepts but transforms such inconsistency, calls us to more effective Christian living.
