Charles R. He currently pastors Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas, and serves as the chancellor of Dallas Theological Seminary. His renowned Insight for Living radio program airs around the world.

Charles Swindoll takes you verse by verse, chapter by chapter, story by story, never covering over David's mistakes, and giving many wonderful lessons and applications from this man after God's own heart. I highly recommend this entire series of character studies, as I always find something truthful and authentic in taking the time to get a closer look at these well-known people from God's word. David was truly a man of Passion and Destiny. What better way to see Romans 8:28 in action than to look at the life of the man that the Bible declares as being after God's own heart.

David, unlike any Bible character before him, had the charisma to inspire a great nation. David : A Man of Passion and Destiny. Part of the Great Lives From God's Word Series). by Charles R.

The book on David is excellant! . Charles R. Swindoll was born on October 18, 1935 in El Campo, Texas.

The book on David is excellant! It gives you a view of a man that was passionate in his heart for the Lord. After his duty in the Marine Corps, Swindoll entered the Dallas Theological Seminary and graduated with several honors including the Harry A. Ironside Award for Expository Preaching and the Faculty Award for Most Outstanding Graduate. Yet in other ways he was a most ordinary man-often gripped by destructive passion, rocked by personal tragedy, and motivated by political gain. Yet, he is the one character the Bible describes as a man after God's own heart. In this first volume of the Great Lives series Charles Swindoll shows how David proved his love for God many times over in an extraordinary life that left an enduring legacy of faith. What Our Readers Are Saying.

A Man of Passion and Destiny. Charles Swindoll starts with great content, admittedly, the life of David

A Man of Passion and Destiny. Charles Swindoll starts with great content, admittedly, the life of David. However, he enriches the story with historical interpretation and, true to his well-known style, absolutely shines in the area of applying the life of David to the contemporary Christian walk.

David was a man after God's own heart . . .

What does it mean to be someone "after God's own heart?" David, Old Testament Shepherd, king, and psalmist, offers an answer in the shape of his own life.

In many ways he was a most extraordinary man?intelligent, handsome, abundantly gifted as a poet, musician, warrior, and administrator. Yet in other ways he was a most ordinary man?often gripped by destructive passion, rocked by family chaos and personal tragedy, and motivated by political expediency. How did David become the national hero of God's chosen people? Why is he the one character in the Bible described as "a man after God's own heart?" Chuck Swindoll explores the many facets of David?from his teenage years and dysfunctional family life to his overwhelming passion for God.

David's life offers hope to all of us. It shows that God can do extraordinary things through ordinary men and women. And David offers an insightful perspective on what it means to be truly spiritual, to become like David?men and women after God's own heart.

David is the first of a multi-volume series exploring great lives from the Bible. Chuck Swindoll wants to show us that these men and women became great when they placed themselves at the Lord's disposal, allowing Him to develop within them the marks of true character: humility, purity, authenticity, and integrity. To live a life God considers "great" is within the reach of everyone who submits to him.

By FAR, the best book in his Great Lives series. I've read them all several times. The reason Moses is the best, is the lessons, insights, and life applications that Chuck draws out of a story that you've likely heard and read several times. If you haven't read this book, I would highly recommend it, although any of the Great Lives books are good to revisit for personal study, sermons, or Bible study material.

My favorite part was Chapter 5: "The Desert: School of Self-Discovery." In this chapter, Chuck highlights how we all go through desert seasons where God seeks to train us up, similar to Moses 40 years in the wilderness of Midian and Mt. Sinai. Chuck endearingly calls this God's "Wilderness University" or "Desert University," and describes the 4 "majors" that God provides in his curriculum, as he trains up a man or woman of God. Chuck reuses these themes in ALL of his Great Lives series and applies them to David, Elijah, Esther, etc.

The following "majors" or life lessons are:
1) Obscurity- God uses obscurity to break down our pride/ego, remove our desire to "be in the limelight," and to be humble/willing to be used by Him
2) Time/Waiting- God uses time to grow our patience and reliance on Him
3) Solitude- God uses solitude, to give us time to reflect, remove busyness from our lives, and to develop our ability to stand for God, even when the "crowd" or others don't.
4) Discomfort- God uses discomfort to develop our ability to tolerate hardship and "be content in all things" as Paul says in the New Testament.

I was interested in learning more about King David, but wanted something more like a "novel," than a heavy in-depth biography. I never seemed to find anything like that, but went with this one because of the author's reputation. Swindoll provides an entertaining account of the events in David's life, using scripture and also lively contemporary language. What I did not expect, but have enjoyed, is that he also draws parallels between David's actions and other Bible events, and also applies to modern life some lessons to be learned from David. I have found these digressions from a "just the facts, ma'am" approach to be interesting and, in some cases, thought-provoking. If, however, a reader would prefer a book that is strictly a biographical account of David's life, this may not be the best choice. I gave it 4 stars because occasionally the author gets a bit too preachy.

My parents named me "David" so I wanted to learn more about the life of the one God chose who was named David. It was a great book; good reading and well organized. Lots of scripture was used to describe David's life. I will probably buy some more in Chuck Swindoll's Bible character series.

Bought this book because I needed some more fluid info on David, more chronological for the retreat I was about to speak at. Wow! Every chapter ministered to my soul and spoke to me in such deep ways. You can almost read this like a devotional because swindoll puts little nuggets in every chapter that will challenge you in deep ways. This book is a keeper. You won't be seeing mine resold on amazon!

From my earliest days of accepting Christ, I have loved Chuck Swindoll. His writing is so clear and the everyday application so practical. This book was no exception. Examining the life of David with application from every period of his life allowed me to feel that God can use anyone to accomplish his purposes.

Charles Swindoll is an incredible writer. He is one of those writers that keep you wanting to read more. His series of Great Profiles in Character is a wonderful series and I believe this one to be the best of the best. Another wonderful thing is that this is in large print. When you get older like me that is a plus in any book. I would recommend this book to anybody who would to get a panoramic view of the great Patriarch King David. It shows David's whole character the pros and cons. You will appreciate your Bible Characters far greater through this gracious timeless work from whom I consider one of the greatest Christian writers.

This series is not only enlightening but refreshing as Swindoll provides insight to the lives of our Biblical hero while providing practical application for our lives today. We can easily see ourselves in the lives of these heroes and acknowledge our personal strengths and weaknesses drawing us to a closer walk with God. Looking forward to reading them all. David truly is a man after God's own heart.

Great book to study of a man (not just a king) who has a heart for God. Enough detail for practical applications; spurs great discussion if you're in a small group. No study guide needed if there is one.

This is a great starter book. There is opportunity to go deeper on this topic but there is no follow-up book. Open to suggestions.
