The description of Max Lucado’s new book runs a little something like this (courtesy of the Koorong Website):
Giants. We must face them. Yet, we need not face them alone. This profound look at the life of David digs deeply into the defeats he suffered, and the victories he won, as he faced the giants in his life. When David focused on God, giants tumbled. But when David focused on giants, he stumbled.
Goliaths still roam our world: disaster, divorce, disease, depression. These super-sized challenges swagger and strut into our lives, pilfering our sleep, embezzling our peace and robbing us of our joy. And while these giants try to dominate our lives, we know what to do! We’ve learned what David learned, and we do what David did. We become God-focused. We pick up five stones. We make five decisions. And we take a swing!
Even this short description doesn’t fill me with the confidence of knowing whether or not Mr Lucado has used the story of David & Goliath appropriately. I’ll have to grab a copy of this book to make a proper judgement, but at $17.95 I may wait for a sale…
