A Biblical Story of Calling, Failure, and Covenant Faithfulness

David’s story is often remembered for courage and victory—but Scripture tells a deeper, more honest account.

David: A King Who Learned How to Return follows the true biblical narrative of Israel’s second king from his quiet calling as a shepherd to his reign as a humbled, repentant leader. Written in clear, accessible language, this book traces David’s life through obedience and failure, success and consequence, showing why God’s covenant with David endured even when his choices brought lasting cost.

This is not a fictional retelling or a simplified summary. Each chapter is grounded in Scripture and arranged in chronological order, helping readers understand how David’s heart posture—his willingness to return to God—set him apart from the kings before and after him.

Inside, readers will explore:

David’s calling while still overlooked
The contrast between faith and fear
His greatest failure and sincere repentance
The lasting consequences of sin and the mercy of God
Why David stands at the center of Israel’s monarchy

Each chapter includes Scripture explanations, key Bible passages, reflective contrasts, and thoughtful questions designed to deepen understanding and personal reflection.

This book is ideal for personal study, small groups, or anyone seeking a clearer, more honest understanding of leadership, repentance, and covenant faithfulness in Scripture.

David was not chosen because he was flawless. He was preserved because he learned how to return.
