The Story of David: The Shepherd Boy Who Faced Goliath

You first heard the story of David as a child. A shepherd boy, a sling, five smooth stones, and a giant who fell. Now read the whole story, in order, as an adult.

Most of us never move past that childhood fragment. 1 and 2 Samuel can feel long and scattered, full of unfamiliar names, and hard to follow on your own. The Story of David gives you the connected, grown-up story at last, from the day Samuel anointed the youngest son of Jesse to the day King David danced before the ark as it entered Jerusalem.

In large print and plain English, this is one story told in twelve parts, each short enough to read in a single sitting. Every part opens by picking up the thread, so you always know where you are and can set the book down and return without losing your place.

Here is the promise you can trust:

• Nothing happens here that the Bible does not record, and no one is given a thought or motive the Bible does not give
• Every word inside quotation marks is the Bible’s own
• The only addition is the setting: the hillside pastures, the army camps, the dark of a cave

In this book you will:

• Follow David’s whole rise, from the sheep fields to the throne
• Finally make sense of 1 and 2 Samuel, with a clear map of who is who and what happens when
• Meet the famous moments whole: Goliath in the valley, Jonathan’s friendship, the spared king, burned Ziklag, the dance before the ark
• Read it aloud to someone you love, slowly, a part at a time

Whether you are a new believer looking for a clear way into the Bible, a reader who finds Scripture hard going, or an older reader who loves a great story in large print, this book was made for you.
