A Heart Like His – Review

 

From the back cover:

Many of those whose lives and stories were captured in the Bible had deep relationships with God. Yet, it was one man in particular, King David, who Scripture identified as  “a man after God’s own Heart.” In this in-depth biblical biography, Beth Moore takes you on an intimate journey through David’s remarkable life.

From shepherd, to refugee, to king of Israel, David exhibited the purest virtues and the most heinous sinfulness. But through it all, his relationship with God continued to grow. A heart Like His looks at this bond of mutual love and admiration from today’s perspective, drawing insight and understanding that will help you to experience a growing relationship with God despite your circumstances – just as David Di.

Journey with Beth into the life of David and discover how to love and serve God more fully, understanding more about your own unique place in His heart.

 

I have done a couple of Bible Studies by Beth Moore at our church. I have enjoyed and learned from them all. I haven’t done the David study, yet. After reading A Heart Like His, I’m going to check into being able to do it. I really like Beth Moores speaking and writing style. She talks to you like a great friend, instead of a teacher. I love that this book as Review Questions for each chapter in the back of the book.

Beth takes us on a journey in this book to learn more about David. She starts with David’s “back story”. The people leading up to David. We start with Eli, Hannah, and the story of Samuel. We follow Samuel, Saul, and Jonathon as we follow David’s story. And continuing on until Solomon becomes king. The good, the bad and the ugly. Because we all have those three things in our lives, we can relate to David.

By examining David’s story and relationship with God, we learn more about ourselves and our relationship with God. So we can have a heart like His!
