When Giants Fall - Ebook

Wondering how God can use you despite your failures?

In When Giants Fall, you will discover how God used David, a shepherd boy turned king, at his best and his worst. David, the hero, was known for killing Goliath, and soothing King Saul’s madness with his music. But there is so much more to David’s story—he was also a murderer, an adulterer, and a deceiver. In spite of his failures, David was quick to repent and seek after God, earning him the title of “a man after God’s own heart.” David’s experience proves that God can still use weak, sinful human beings like us to do His work. Though heartache and remorse may color our lives, God can accomplish great things through us—things worth remembering for centuries to come.

About the Author

Randy Spleth, founding pastor of Geist Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Indianapolis, Indiana, points out that Bible stories have just as much romance, intrigue, treachery, and murder as any best-selling “beach read.” Their purpose, however, is more than mere entertainment. The stories of Scripture describe our human condition with painful authenticity. They reveal who we are and how we must change if we are to have enduring relationships with our neighbors and with God.

As you study the life of David, you may be amused, appalled, or scandalized—but you will also be changed.
