David: The Shepherd King - CCS by W Phillip Keller.
This volume is the sequel to Phillip Keller’s book “David: The Time of Saul’s Tyranny” and the author takes the reader event by event throughout the rest of David’s life. David was not only shaped his own time, he also transformed Israel’s sense of national identity and made her aware of God’s purpose in choosing her as His people.
God’s call to the shepherd boy David, has been validated, Goliath is dead and so is the jealous King Saul. Now, what will David do with the clear path of leadership before him? Will it be a challenge that will drive him to his knees, calling on God’s leadership? Or will the adage that “power corrupts” be proved true? It is one thing to herd sheep, but it is quite another to be the shepherd of God’s people. These are the kind of issues which Phillip Keller, perceptively probes in David: The Shepherd King.
