David: Favored Friend of God
For all of David’s great successes, he suffered as many tragic and moral failures. So why would God nevertheless describe him as a man after my own heart
? Bible scholar Stephen J. Lennox immerses us in the great king's ancient world, connecting timeless spiritual truths with real life. David remains a powerful example of an unconditional heart after God; and he shows us how, through all of life's twists and turns, we can also become God's dearly favored friend.
There is a faith that God calls favored.

Stephen J. Lennox is president of Kingswood University and has a PhD in biblical studies. He has written several books, including commentaries on Psalms, Proverbs, and Joshua, and introduction to the Old Testament, God’s Story Revealed, as well Abraham and Moses.
Throughout the great king’s story, God cherishes most the man's loyal and sincere heart for him . . . even when David would need to repent of profound sin. David's life is a pattern for all of us as we negotiate through our own stories - in the midst of failing, we too can remain faithful lovers of God.
