After God's Heart: Becoming Who God is Seeking

by Dr. Deron J Biles

Throughout history, God has been looking for faithful men and women. In the story of David, we meet a man God found. Throughout David’s life, we learn about the riches of God’s grace, the heights of God’s love, the depths of His patience, the trauma of our sin, and the dependability of God’s Promises. David was a good man. But he was also a sinful man. He loved God, served God, obeyed God, and worshiped God. He also failed God … a lot. At times he sought God, and, at other times, he seemed to avoid Him. In the end, the hero of this story isn’t David. Maybe the times when David forgot that are the moments of his deepest failures. The story of David is a story about God. It’s a story about a seeking, loving, holy, and faithful God. God saw David. He saw David’s humility in his obscurity, and He saw David’s arrogance in his prominence. Through everything and despite everything, God loved David, sought David, chose David, and used David. Believers today can be encouraged that God wants to do the same for us. He loves you, is seeking you, is calling you, and wants to use you. The question you must answer What will it take for you to become a man or a woman after God’s heart?

Deron Biles is not only a professor of pastoral ministry and preaching. He is also a shepherd after God's heart. I say this from personal experience, for he is my mentor; he helped and supported my family and me in times of crisis.
In this short book, Dr. Biles provides guidelines for those called to ministry. He developed these guidelines from studying the life and character of David, a man after God's own heart, or a man whom God found and chose to accomplish his purposes. I certainly enjoyed reading this special work.
