David: Developing a Heart for God

LifeGuide Bible Studies

by Jack Kuhatschek

Who are your role models? The world desperately needs role models today―people who are fully human yet who exceed human expectations and point others toward God. David is such a role model. His struggles with sin are infamous, and the Psalms reveal his anguish and doubts. Yet he is also described as "a man after God's own heart"―the champion of Israel. In this twelve-session LifeGuide® Bible Study, Jack Kuhatschek introduces you to David the servant and the leader, the sinner and the redeemed, the man and the instrument of God's creative purposes. As you explore David's tumultous story, you too will discover what it means to have a passionate heart for God. For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions―making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups. This series has more than 130 titles on Old and New Testament books, character studies, and topical studies.

[Bob Wolniak · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fine group discussion guide for many episodes in David's life. It is not a chapter by chapter study guide for every passage in 1 & 2 Samuel (and their parallels in Chronicles) but selects the most well-known stories and gives a couple of pages worth of questions (many other guides are specific to an author's commentary or are far less thorough--this guide averages 10 separate major questions per study). This can be used as personal devotional study guide as well and has blanks under each question for notes. There are leader's notes in the back.

This was a great group study and very easy to follow. I loved all the lessons provided and learned more about the life of David than I ever knew before. Definitely suggest this one to any Bible study group.

i think that you are using the work of God to make money for your own selfish reasons. i want to get some quote from the bible, from the book of David and i can't do it because religion is big business. When ever i try to look it up someone is trying to sell me something. Shame on you using God as a means to make money.
