Effective leadership is always a critical need in the church. Current and aspiring church leaders need models to emulate, and no source of leadership models can surpass the Bible. The Word of God presents us with numerous examples of great leaders, especially in the Old Testament, and one of the greatest of these is David, the second and greatest king of Israel.

In this short, plainspoken book, Dr. Michael C. Walker examines nine episodes from David’s life and draws from them powerful leadership lessons that are just as relevant in our times today as they were 3000 years ago. In these nine brief chapters, Dr. Michael shows us David at his very best and his very worst, from his triumph as a youth over a literal ‘giant’ of a challenge, to his most colossal and egregious failure as a middle-aged king — and everything in between. What emerges is an inspiring picture of a man of great strengths — and great weaknesses — but who also possessed a passionate heart for God. Learn from the life of David how to be a better leader and a person After God’s Own Heart.
