The Story of David- a Retelling Anita H. Rosenau

The Story of David faithfully follows his Bible history: from David?s early record of a shepherd boy to a mighty king, from man of war to one who contemplates a better way. David?s deep love for God carries him beyond disappointments to gratitude to God. As David ages, he becomes more introspective; he becomes a real-life character with deep spiritual longings. All familiar Bible characters are here?Saul, Jonathan, Bathsheba, Absolom? but seen from David?s perspective. The poetic form used gives the author, a published poet, opportunity to use language befitting the ecstasy of David?s emotions.
