David the Great

Deconstructing the Man After God's Own Heart

De: Mark Rutland

Narrado por: Maurice England

King David was a complicated, conflicted man of flesh. But too often he is viewed as an Americanized shepherd boy on a Sunday school felt board or a New Testament saint alongside the Virgin Mary. Not only does this neglect one of the Bible’s most complex stories of sin and redemption, it also bypasses the gritty, life lessons inherent in the amazing true story of David.

Mark Rutland shreds the felt-board character, breaks down the sculpted marble statue, and unearths the real David of the Bible. Both noble and wretched, neither a saint nor a monster, at times victorious and other times a failure, David was, through it all, a man after God’s own heart.

Extraordinary Read!

The narrator was fascinating and even sounds a bit like Dr. Rutland. This audiobook totally change my perspective on David and leadership.

Insightful Views from a Godly Erudite Professor

King David’s life has long been one of the examples from God’s Word that captured me because of the reality and transparency of his human plight. King David, not unlike every one of us, was a man who committed sin. The lessons and detail Dr. Mark go into in this book scrape away the novelties of David’s life to the crux of what made him a man after God’s own heart- his heart of repentance.

Amazingly detailed

I really enjoyed this book! I plan on listening to it again, probably multiple times! I’m sure something I missed will stand out!
Very detailed and easy to understand!

"Great" book..

What a captivating and extraordinary book of the life of David. Dr. Rutland's coloquial verbiage makes it fun and exciting to understand the many facets of David and how he was a man after God's own heart. What is man that you are so mindful of us oh Lord.

Get Real

Great listen. King David comes alive, not the myth, the ancient man who heard about a God worthy to trust, and, with much blood and much betrayal and many errors because he was a “man after God’s heart. “ great job dr mark

what a king

The author breaks down the story of David from the textbook like format in the Bible, and transforms it into a beautiful narratard story.

Excellent Book.

Dr. Mark brings the life and character of King David alive. From the first page until the last I was completely captured by the story of David and all of his victories and weaknesses. So many life lessons and wonderful advice on dealing with others in business and in personal relationships.

Gripping and raw, I loved it!

Mark Rutland has done it again! Awesome reflection of King David’s life. It was far from dull, in fact, it puts the greatest action movies to shame. I think all leaders and parents should read this book. It sets the bar on what a leader should... and at times shouldn’t be. Right from get-go Mark had my full attention. Buy it now, you won’t regret it.
