Riassunto

Working with the premise that no other character in the Bible is as human and vulnerable as David, the author of Living the Message uses stories from David's life to illustrate how Christians today can learn to deal with such issues as love, grief, friendship, sin, and suffering. Reprint.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

David, vaulter of walls, troop-crusher, flawed and passionate poet, never fails to capture the Christian imagination because of his whole-hearted lust for God. Now Eugene Peterson examines this shepherd-king through the magnifying lenses of the people and events in his life and suggests new and powerful possibilities for the divine-human link in our own time and culture. --Luci Shaw, writer-in-residence, Regent College, and author of God in the Dark and Writing the River

Eugene H. Peterson skillfully uses the David story to talk not about David, but about you and about me. Leap Over a Wall is the human story in all its wonder and terror and pity. --Richard J. Foster, author of Celebration of Discipline and Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home
