AN INTRODUCTION TO KING DAVID FOR YOUNG READERS

Barbara Cohen has penned a lucid, easy to comprehend biography of King David for young readers. King David is, of course, one of the richest, most absorbing lives chronicled in Scripture. Through this author's eyes the sometimes enigmatic ruler is seen as a poet, soldier, politician, father, lover, and religious leader. Perhaps most important of all, he is seen as a human being. The author utilizes today's awareness of archaeology and history to tell his story in a very contemporary way.
