Examines the David theme in the collective mind of ancient Israel and the early church In this follow-up study to Judaism, The First Phase, Joseph Blenkinsopp traces the development of traditions about David in the collective memory of the people of Israel and the first Christians, from the extinction of the Davidic dynasty in the sixth century B.C.E. to the early common era. David Remembered is neither a biography of David nor an exegetical study of the biblical narrative about David. Rather, it focuses on the memory of David as a powerful factor in the formation of social identity, in political activity (especially in reaction to imperial rule), and in projections of the future viewed as the restoration of a never-forgotten past.

The author has long been fascinated by the stories of David, soldier, king; so powerful, yet so weak and vulnerable. His is the human story exemplified in the life of one man. As his story unfolds there are lessons to be found, he learns, he forgets. David's self-will runs riot followed by his deep repentance and a sense of forgiveness and relief. David becomes every man and every woman. When one looks at David's life and sees themselves, change can happen, and spiritual growth may occur. The author says, "When I read the life of David and then look in the mirror, I feel a sense of relief in knowing that there is hope for me too!"

"In this rendering, the Psalms become once again what they were for Christian believers from the very beginning: the hymnal of the Church. They remain, certainly, the songs of Israel: from its cries of lamentation to its shouts of exultation. But for the Christian reader, they become as well hymns of petition and praise that express both the joy and the longing of those who live 'in Christ' . . . At the same time their very language can convey to us the assurance that, as he has throughout the millennia, God hears our prayer and responds to it with boundless mercy, love, and compassion." --from the Preface by Fr. John Breck Professor Sheehan's brief introductory exposition of the Davidic roots of Psalms and the poetics of chiasmus guides us in understanding how the ruining oppositions of actual experience are held in Psalms within the musical disciplines of lyric art: held, until God Himself can be seen in the ruins: seen, and felt, and overwhelmingly and gratefully loved. The psalmist's world doesn't change as he turns his experience toward God. What changes is he himself. How he changes is toward acquiring the very mind of Christ, to which each of us is called.

Davids life teaches us how to press forward when the battle looks overwhelming, when the circumstances appear defeating, when life, family, friends and even God Himself seems to have left us in a state of utter darkness. David teaches us how to completely trust in the Lord with all of our heart, how to look past the temporary and see Gods plans and purposes in your life. The life of David guides us in how to walk by faith, to keep believing and how to never give up hope. David was a man after Gods own heart, yet he committed sin. I believe God has anointed this book and message, that we may glean from Davids life a treasure of wisdom and humility as well as strength and diligence, determination and destiny, thus giving us purpose and continuous progress. Heart of a Warrior is intended to open eyes. Transform hearts. And lead any and all into a deeper understanding and relationship with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. It is the very essence of the heart of God. Heart of a Warrior will guide you into all truth and empower you to overcome the darkness.

The Biblical Life of King David is the story of the greatest king Israel has ever known. It is titled as such because the only source used for this story is your Bible. Bible scriptures have been interwoven into the story to encourage group Bible study. However, the narrative reads like a novel. King David had a humble beginning as a shepherd boy. Yet God testified regarding the heart of David as having a heart like God (Acts 13:22). When reading this story, you will become very aware of why God testified this way about David. Just to clue you in on three possible reasons: King David was quick to repent when he knew he had made a mistake. Though King David was accused of having blood on his hands, he never killed a person off the battlefield. King David's judgements as king were righteous before God. I pray that you enjoy reading The Biblical Life of King David as much as I enjoyed the study and writing of this story.
