About the Book
Bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado leads readers through an exploration of the life of David over a year, revealing what the Bible says about the traits that made him 'a man after God's own heart.'Book Synopsis
Experience what it means to seek after the heart of God.
God called David "a man after my own heart" (Acts 13:22). It is an appellation he gave to no one else. Not Abraham, or Moses, or Joseph. He called Paul an apostle, John his beloved, but neither was tagged a man after his own heart. We might read David's story and wonder what God saw in him. The fellow fell as often as he stood. He stared down Goliath yet ogled at Bathsheba. Defied God-mockers in the valley yet joined them in the wilderness. An Eagle Scout one day. Chumming with the Mafia the next. He could lead armies but couldn't manage a family.
Still, the Lord called him a man after his own heart--which should give all of us hope!
In Seeking After the Heart of God for 52 Weeks, bestselling author and speaker Max Lucado invites you to study the life of this remarkable character in the Bible to discover for yourself the traits that made him stand out from the rest. Each week, you will be given inspirational readings (based on Max's bestselling books) that reveal the heart of David and his love for the Lord. You will read about this shepherd boy God chose to lead a nation, his writings as a worshiper who wasn't timid in expressing his emotions, and the formation of his character traits such as obedience, courage, trust, and honesty.
This study includes:
- Explorations of 8 characteristics of King David.
- Prayers and memory verses to help you draw closer to God throughout the week.
- A "Heart of the Matter" section that provides the key takeaways of each unit.
- Questions for personal or group study.
- An "After God's Own Heart" section intended to lead to deeper reflection.
This 52-week study is designed so you can start it at any point in the year. It will not only help you learn more about David's life and his relationship with the Lord but also how you can have that same relationship with God in your life. This study encourages you to interact with God. All you need to do is call on him, spend time with him, and watch to see how he transforms you into the image of Christ.
