God Begins Something New
Israel wants a king. They want to be a kingdom. For decades God's people had been stuck in cycles of sin and repentance―oppressed by rulers from outside and by sins from within. In 1 & 2 Samuel, God begins to do something new. Starting with Samuel's miraculous birth, continuing with Saul's insecure leadership, and culminating with David's consolidated kingdom, the stories of 1 & 2 Samuel illuminate how God uses even our missteps so He can lead us into His best ways.

From the Back Cover

Things look bleak for Israel: Military attacks threaten from the outside while moral corruption destroys from within. But God will use three men to guide the nation through these bad times into the next stage of His perfect plan.
Samuel the prophet; Saul, the first king; and David, a man after God's own heart, are great examples of what we should and shouldn't do as Christians today. Explore the books of 1 and 2 Samuel to learn about the establishment of monarchy in Israel, understand the rich spiritual legacy David has left us, and see how God is always sovereign, both in history and in the lives of individuals.
