David: The Giant Slayer: A Heart Chosen by God
David: The Giant Slayer is an inspiring retelling of the life of David, the shepherd boy who became a warrior, a fugitive, and ultimately, a king. Written for children ages 8 to 12, this book teaches powerful lessons about faith, courage, and trusting in God's plan-even when life seems impossible.
From the moment God chose David, no one believed he could be a leader. He was the youngest of his brothers, just a simple shepherd, and too small to fight. But God saw something greater in David-a heart filled with faith and trust in Him.
With nothing but a sling and five smooth stones, David faced Goliath, the terrifying Philistine giant. While others trembled in fear, David believed that the battle belonged to the Lord-and with one stone, he brought the giant crashing down.
But David's story didn't end there.
Even after his victory, he faced years of trials. King Saul, jealous of David's success, hunted him relentlessly, forcing David to flee into the wilderness. Through every battle, every hardship, and every betrayal, David trusted God. And even when he had the chance to take Saul's life, David chose mercy, proving that his heart truly belonged to the Lord.
After years of waiting and trusting, David was finally crowned king, just as God had promised. He ruled not with power alone, but with a heart that sought after God. And through his lineage, God would one day send the greatest King of all-Jesus Christ.
