Book on David's Life Now Available

The name of David, king of Israel, occurs in the Bible more than the name of any other person. The righteousness and equity of his reign became the standard by which all other kings were judged, and the standard he set is surpassed only by Jesus, the Messiah.

City of David and Temple Mount, 1975
Reflections on the Life of King David is not a commentary in the sense of examining the text and explaining the meanings of the words and sentences. Instead, it examines a series of topics suggested by the text that are fitting for reflection and discussion. Hence, it provides discussion questions and personal reflections on short sections of Scripture, which will help people today to emulate David's good qualities and avoid his mistakes. At the same time, the book attempts to
  • Arrange events in David's life chronologically
  • Estimate David's age for each of nine periods in his life
  • Collate the events recorded in Samuel/Kings with the events recorded in Chronicles
My book is available at my publisher:

I would appreciate reviews or ratings after you read the book. (Well positive ones anyway. I am not sure how my ego would take a negative review.) The book will also be available on Amazon.com in six to eight weeks.
