The Stones: A Novel of the Life of King DavidBy Eleanor GustafsonDescription:With comprehensive detail and flowing prose, Eleanor Gustafson crafts the retelling of King David's life--from his teenaged anointing to his death--as seen through the eyes of Asaph, a Levite musician. Fictional in scope, yet with amazing scriptural accuracy, The Stones provides a revealing, behind-the-scenes glimpse into biblical history with all the twists, turns, thrills, and romance of one of the world's great dramas. The Stones is an epic adventure of man's innate need to worship God and rely on Him for strength--and how badly it can go when he fails to do so. Book Takeaway:David was a huge man in every way, filled with passion for God and for sin. He learned what I want readers to know: the fear of God, the grace of God, and the love of God--in that order. Why the author wrote this book:I’ve always loved the David story for its sheer drama, complex characters, romance, and tragedy. It lacks a certain dimension in the Bible, however, and I wanted to make it come alive and accessible to the average reader. |
