A man of reason and vigorous discourse, and a renowned professor of literature and philosophy, C.S. Lewis, always "Jack" to family and friends, never shied from intellectual debate, and through his written works encouraged others to wrestle with the difficult questions of faith. A master of visual illustration and allegory, Lewis wrote with the intuitive understanding that his readers wrestled with the same questions about the Christian story, about pain, suffering, and notions of Heaven and Hell, as he himself had wrestled.

While the 20th century was often a time of turbulence, selfishness, godlessness, and violence, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was a witness to love. She was a clear reminder of the goodness within human nature and the beauty of being truly open to God. "Mother" was her religious title, but as she ascended to the world stage, it became her role for the world - to be like a mother to all, no matter their origins. She was accepting and welcoming towards all people, not only towards the good or the like-minded. She continues to serve as an inspiration to people of all walks of life.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was Professor of Anglo-Saxon (Old English) at the University of Oxford. His research on Beowulf is still considered a standard in the field. Tolkien, however, unlike most Oxford dons, stepped out of his role as professor to create popular literature. Tolkien’s best-known writings were The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, in which he created a fully realized world known as Middle-earth, vaguely identifiable as Northern Europe in a pre-history that never was.

The office of the bishop of Rome is one of the most powerful positions in the world. As an ancient institution stretching back for centuries, the papacy has a history that is marked by archaic and modern customs alike. The history of the men who have held this position is fraught with villainous and heroic actions that have left a profound impact on the development of civilization as we know it, both in the West and East.

Publisher's Summary

People are fascinated by the concept of royalty. The notion stirs up sentiments of love, admiration, and hatred. We see ourselves in them, and yet we criticize them at times with indignation. While most monarchies today have been put aside or at least limited in their power, the concept of royalty cannot be erased from human consciousness. In the words of Jesus, Christians pray, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven." The ultimate and most perfect monarchy is that of God himself, the sovereign of all creation.

Through David and the story of the kingship, God taught us about his governance of the world and of his people. David was only human and at times the worthy subject of both praise and severe criticism. But in his relationship with God, we find a model for the people both then and today: suppleness to God's will; wholehearted pursuit of righteousness; sincere repentance from sin; mercy for others; and true worship of God, who alone is worthy.

Looking for a more indepth Study

Besides the streight through reading I would have enjoyed a more indepth history around David, this would be a good book for a new Christian.

Dull and superficial summary of Samuel 1 and 2

Would you try another book from Michael J. Ruszala and Wyatt North and/or David Glass?

No. The author comes across as a very nice guy, but the content is at the level of a junior high Sunday School class. Perhaps written for people who won't actually read the source.

What do you think your next listen will be?

C.S. Lewis on the Psalms.

Which character – as performed by David Glass – was your favorite?

There were no characters - just a lifeless text summarizing the story of David. David Glass did a great job with a lackluster book.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment and frustration at having lost time that could have been better spent.

Any additional comments?

This book summarizes Samuel 1 and 2 and adds a brief chapter on the Psalms without offering much insight at all. If you just want the story of David as a story I would suggest Wangerin's "A Book of God", if you want to understand the Psalms there are plenty better. I have yet to find something that really connnects the two.
