David: Thou, O LORD Art a Shield About Me

David had God's heart and became God's man. Yet his life was full of contrasts, and the Bible doesn't hide the flaws of its greatest heroes.

David: Thou, O Lord, Art a Shield About Me is a 12-lesson Courageous Living workbook by Wilson Adams on the life of David.

How This Study Helps

It's tempting to admire David from a distance as the giant-killer and the sweet psalmist. His sins, and the consequences that followed, are just as instructive for believers who struggle.

This study follows David from his anointing and the battle with Goliath through his years as a fugitive, his rise to the throne, the ark's return, his sin with Bathsheba, Nathan's confrontation, the harvest of consequences in his family, and the end of his life. There's much to learn from both his faith and his failures.
