Summary

Know God as David Knew Him David--impetuous, sensitive, bold, poetic, compassionate, utterly human. What can we learn from this young warrior-king of long ago? And how could God call David a "man after his own heart" even though he was a "man of blood" and an adulterer? Though David sinned greatly, he also loved greatly. By observing and learning from David's character and action, we too can become God's kindred spirits, men and women "after God's own heart." 12 SESSIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS Fisherman Bible Studyguides include: Penetrating questions that generate discussion Flexible format for group or individual needs Helpful leader's notes Emphasis on daily application of Bible truth
