  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;Giants.  We must face them.  Yet, we need not face them alone.  &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;This profound look at the life of David digs deeply into the defeats he suffered, and the victories he won, as he faced the giants in his life.  When David focused on God, giants tumbled.  But when David focused on giants&amp;#8230;&lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; stumbled. &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Goliaths still roam in our world.  Debt.  Disaster.  Dialysis.  Divorce.  Deceit.  Disease.  Depression.  These super-sized challenges swagger and strut into our lives, pilfering our sleep, embezzling our peace and robbing us of our joy.  And while these giants try to dominate our lives, we know what to do!   We've learned what David learned, and we do what David did.  We become God focused. We pick up five stones.  We make five decisions.  And we take a swing.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I am reading this book with my small group, which wasn't my first choice.  But the times I have read Max Lucado, while most of it is like marshmallow fluff, I often get something out of it, in spite of myself.  We'll see...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is what most other Max Lucado books seem to be: snippets of wisdom from his sermons strung together under the auspices of a common theme. Some gems, but overall nothing compelling, in my opinion.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Max Lucado takes the iconic story of David and Goliath and applies it to your life. The book covers the life of David, from shepherd boy to military leader to king of Israel. Hardly a chapter passed that I wasn't crying and thanking God for the lesson Max had for me. Max has an amazing ability to ma...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52171491">more...</a>]]></body>

Despite the greatest urge to read it through in one day, the lessons and story of David made me take one new day to read one chapter and meditate on its meaning and its personal meaning for me.<br/><br/>If your struggli...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66197426">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Life is never flat. This is what the book persistently tries to convey. Yet, through the rise and fall of subjective legitimacy, we suppose to realize the greatest power beyond human's most outreach - The existence of God.

    <body><![CDATA[I read this in large print (great in low light), and learned more about the life of David than I knew before (from in the Bible). He conquered Goliath, and had other giants to face in his life besides Goliath... like King Saul who was trying to kill him. Interesting writing style, showing some simil...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69635592">more...</a>]]></body>
