The First Book of David is a unique novel which brings to life one of the greatest men who ever lived - David the King of Israel. It movingly takes one back in time to see the mighty man and his world through the eyes of his contemporaries, some of which are Samuel, Abner, Michal, Abishai, Abiathar, and even Goliath's armor bearer. It answers why David is so endearingly referred to as "a man after God's own heart". Though we know the story, The First Book of David is hard to put down.

Booker continues the story he began in his earlier The First Book of David, retelling the life of one of the Bible's most famous and storied figures, King David, who began his life as a humble shepherd boy, shot to fame as the slayer of the Philistine giant Goliath, and eventually entered the court of savage-tempered King Saul. The Second Book of David takes up the story of David at the height of his kingly power, and in a winning formula Booker uses here again, that story is told not from an omniscient viewpoint or from David's own but rather from viewpoints of the people in David's life - the famous Bathsheba, the Prophet Nathan, King Saul's concubine Rizpah and others.

In this era of indecision, fearfulness, and compromise, the world cries out for decisive leadership. Be it political or Christian, the world is clamoring for dynamic direction. What a Difference a Line Can Make is a treatise of Holy Ghost direction that has been overlooked and is long overdue. Simultaneously concise and in-depth, this book offers a crystal-clear view of Holiness themes that have been for the most part abandoned by Christendom but long held dear by God and his people.

This is a biography of an ex-hippie and how God turned his life around. It has a combination of humor and pathos. It makes a very interesting listening experience.
