The courage and character it takes to ,like King David, reach your own personal "ZION"

Definitely two thumbs up for me!! Someone gave me this book and I reluctantly read it.... I was in for a surprise how deep such a short book could be! The author uses personal experiences while referencing bible passages that really make well-rounded points in this book. David hid out in a large cave to escape the wrath of King Saul who knew that David was attempting to take the throne... this is where many of our psalms were written... Out of David's deepest darkest areas of fear in that cave came glorious depictions of God's love and the power of his favor. THe author makes a beautiful parallel of David's pathway and the pathway of the faithful minister in today's world. David was a shepherd boy who became a great king as well as the seed from whom came Jesus the Messiah. He declared "where does my help come from" out of exasperation in one of his psalms and the answer he gives to his own question is "my help comes from the Lord, maker of heaven and earth." I would recommend this book to a well schooled and experienced minister as well as a student attempting to pinpoint his/her statement of faith for a future ministry. He calls chapter 8 FIVE STEPS TO ZION and lists them as this: 1. PUT YOUR BODY WHERE YOUR DESTINY IS. 2. DON'T REASON WITH THE ENEMY 3. DWELL IN YOUR DESTINY AND CALL IT YOURS! 4. RESTRUCTURE YOUR PRIORITIES 5. KEEP ON AND GROW GREAT WITH GOD. It is really a faith-building book, as it also reminds believers to wait for the "Word" from God before doing ANYTHING and make sure you are on the right path before you take ONE STEP. I LOVE THIS BOOK and I continue to open it time and again in my studies!

Reigning Review of David's Rulership

This book is what I would consider sound in scripture. Dr. Cottle has put together a masterpiece, exegeting certain text, as well as expounding on areas in which King David explored enroute to the throne. I recommend this book for anyone, who is interested in understanding what many may refer to as the three levels of being anointed. This book gets a whopping two thumbs up and a wink!!!
