David and David's Son: 13 Meditations on Success and Failure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798736990283)

David's career path was a roller coaster: from teenage nobody to ace commander, from fugitive to king, from high-on-God to lost-in-sin. He lived ecstatic triumphs and devastating failures. In David and David's Son Tim Stafford carefully analyzes the highs and lows. He asks, "What can we learn about success and failure from David's drama?" David is a compelling personality, strong and charismatic and yet enigmatic, too. How was he lifted so high? Why did he fall so low? Through David and David's Son you'll accompany him through every challenge, and get to know him deeply. "David's Son" is Jesus. There's a reason he was so often referred to as "Son of David," and it's more than genealogy. David's story is captivating, but it only really has meaning when embedded in God's story that culminates in Jesus. David and David's Son explores many parallels between Jesus' and David's lives, and shows how Jesus completes David's story. We learn to see David in Jesus' redemptive light.The real David is not a Sunday school hero, but a deeply flawed, deeply troubled, deeply blessed human being-a king, a warrior, a poet, a husband and a father. Come walk with him.David and David's Son covers all of David's life, indicating which Scriptures are considered in each chapter. A Question for Meditation concludes each chapter, enabling the book's use for personal devotions or group study.
