We desperately need role models today. Not comic-book superheroes who are impossible to imitate, but flesh and blood people like ourselves. Such people allow us to be fully human, yet inspire us to look beyond our weaknesses to the Living God. David is such a person. His struggles with sin are infamous, and the Psalms reveal his anguish and doubts. Yet he is also described as "a man after God''s own heart"-- the champion of Israel. As you explore the life of David, you will discover what it means to have a passionate heart for God.
