David

About this book

David: Learning to Trust the Rock introduces young readers to David before he became Israel's famous king.Before Goliath, before the throne, and before David became known as a mighty warrior, he was a young shepherd boy in Bethlehem. Through thirteen historically grounded, Scripture-centered chapters, readers follow David as he learns the responsibilities of shepherding, navigates the hills of Judah, experiences the changing seasons, honors the Sabbath, works during the barley harvest, faces a lion and a bear, develops his gift for music, and is eventually called to serve in the king's house.This coming-of-age Bible adventure emphasizes a simple but powerful truth: God was preparing David through the ordinary responsibilities he faithfully carried out each day.Designed for independent readers approximately ages 8-12, the book combines biblical narrative, historical background, engaging illustrations, and Did You Know? features that help young readers understand the world in which David lived.Part of the Mighty Ones for the King(TM) - Bible Adventures for Young Hearts collection.
