Men of Character: David: Seeking God Faithfully Book

After reading this book I realized that there was much more to this story than I had ever been taught before. It was amazing to be shown the patterns that are in plain sight, but have been overlooked by many people. And how those patterns give us glimpses into who this David is and who the God of this story is.

I hate how the only 'important' things about David, as explained to me by countless people and pastors, is that he slew a giant and slept with a woman not his own and killed her husband to cover it up. But those are only two small stories in a much bigger story about who David is and why God chose him over Saul, who God chose in the first place.

Borgman does a great job in showing the complexities of David and the wonderful weaving of patterns set down by the author. If you are interested at all in the biblical character of David then this is a book you must read.
