A Man After God's Own Heart: David, the Love of God, and Superpower Repentance

David was a giant-killer, a king, an adulterer, and a murderer - and the Bible still calls him a man after God's own heart. How?This seminary-level Bible study traces David's whole life - the anointing, the cave, the throne, the fall with Bathsheba, the cover-up murder of Uriah, the prideful census, and two complete returns to God - to answer the question every honest reader of Scripture eventually asks: what does it actually mean to have a heart after God's own heart?The answer isn't moral perfection. It's an undivided love for God that breaks honestly when it fails and runs home every time. Drawing on the original Hebrew (leb shalem - a whole heart), this book walks through David's triumphs and his two great sins with equal honesty, and shows how his story points forward to the one Son of David whose heart was never divided at all.For pastors, Bible study groups, seminary students, and anyone who has ever needed to know that failure isn't the end of the story.
