This issue tells the epic story of David, a shepherd who became a king, a brave and crafty military leader who killed Goliath, a poet and musician who gave us the Psalms. He was a sinner who was humble enough to admit his fall and repent. McBride skillfully traces the story of David from shepherd boy to king. David is a towering Old Testament figure. "We draw from David's life a motivation to have deep faith in God, a commitment to prayer, honesty about our moral lives, a willingness to repent our sins and a hope for salvation," concludes McBride.
