A series of biblical reflections on what we can learn today from the life of David. The Bible devotes more verses to David than anyone else except Jesus. God called David a man after his own heart, yet he made monumental mistakes. So why was this flawed king so esteemed and what can we learn? Touching on universal themes such as being overlooked, family tensions, conflict and temptation, Percey draws out biblical truths that gently challenge us to look at our lives and draw closer to Jesus.
