Life Lessons from 2 Samuel: Providing God's Guidance in the Crossroads of Life
It wasn't an easy path for David to become king over Israel. God had personally selected him for the role at a young age and given him the strength and courage to defeat the Philistine giant named Goliath. However, David's popularity that resulted from this triumph made the current king, Saul, paranoid that he would lose the throne. He made attacks against David's life, forcing the younger man to flee into the wilderness and even hide out in enemy territory. Saul was ultimately killed in battle, but the path wouldn't get much easier for David once he became king. Sadly, much of this turmoil would come about as a result of David's own sinful actions when he committed adultery and then murder to cover it up.

Join beloved author Max Lucado as he explores David's reign in 2 Samuel and how God used him to become Israel's greatest king in spite of his many flaws and failings. As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of 2 Samuel, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:

  • God provides his guidance in the intersections of life.
  • Pride always leads to a fall and colossal collapses.
  • Our God is in the business of forgiving and restoring his people.
  • The Lord continues to look for people after his own heart.

Life Lessons with Max Lucado brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God's Word. Each lesson includes:

  • An opening reflection on the Bible book you're studying.
  • Background information to deepen your understanding of the cultural and historical setting.
  • An excerpt of the text (from the NIV and the NKJV).
  • Exploration questions with plenty of room to write your own thoughts and notes.
  • Inspirational thoughts from Max as well as a closing takeaway for further reflection.

The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.
