A Heart Like His: Intimate Reflections on the Life of David

by Beth Moore

Book Overview

We all go through times when we feel insignificant or times when we feel certain that we have experienced a degree of failure from which there is no return. This is not a reality we experience alone, but is one that a man after God's heart experienced as well. From shepherd, to refugee, to king of Israel, David exhibited the purest virtues and the most heinous sinfulness, but through it all his relationship with the Lord continued to grow.

A moving, humorous, tearful journey through David's life

Beth's book is a wonderfully written journey through the life of a man who sought God's own heart. She fluctuates between humorous observations on the actions of the Biblical characters I thought I knew so well, and touching parallels to the life of the ultimate "Son of Man". This book held me captivated from the introduction to the final period. I look forward to more books like this from Beth.

Wonderful book teaching through the Bible for women today

A wonderful work, Beth, is available to God to be used, and ends up blessing all of us. Our women's Bible Study is just finishing this work. All the women are anxious to do another work by Beth, and love her style of waiting on the Lord to speak to her, and acting in obedience. It has taught me many things that I can use in my daily life as a christian.

This book is a life changing book. You must read it!

Beth Moore breaks open David's life in a soft, yet direct fashion. She looks at every aspect of David's life. She starts with Samuel and Hannah. She goes on to King Saul and how his disobedience cost him the kingdom. She then walks you through David's life as if she were there as a participant. The incredible way that she reaches into heaven and brings down David's story is amazingly breathtaking. This book is one that you will find hard to put down. You will walk away from this book with a greater understanding of David, God, and yourself.

Well worth the time you will need to invest

This study was a life-changing experience for me. I began the study with a ladies' group, at a military chapel, and wasn't able to attend regularly. However, I continued giving my time to it, almost every day, and each time I got into it, I received multiples of blessings. This study called me into accountability for sins I had not previously recognized, and opened up new ways for me to look at God. I learned that He is worthy of so much more than I had been giving. Giving more to God has brought so many blessings into my life, such as peace, assurance, confidence, sweeter fellowship with Him, and a more Godly lifestyle. I am by no means perfect, but I did grow significantly in the few months it took me to complete this study.

Life-changing experience with God!!!

This Bible study is awesome!!! I did it my freshman year of college in a small group of other students, and it absolutely changed my life. Beth Moore is an excellent teacher, and God really spoke to me through her using this study. I would recommend it for anyone seeking a deeper relationship with Christ!!
