David crashed onto the scene in ancient Israel when he used a slingshot and one stone to fell the giant Goliath. He went on to become Israel’s greatest king. Now Lucado has modern readers slaying their own giants using principles gleaned from David’s life. For example, David focused on God, not giants; David’s life was threatened by his nemesis King Saul, but David worshiped God; David stole the beautiful Bathsheba from her husband and then had him killed, but God forgave.
Lucado goes beyond the storytelling to offer readers concrete action steps to help slay their giants using the metaphor of the five stones David chose in his Goliath quest: The stones represent the past, prayer, priority, passion and persistence. Lucado’s lively language (“Focus on giants—you stumble. Focus on God—your giants tumble.”) and casual style will appeal to the most reluctant readers, yet his spiritual depth will challenge and amaze.
Added value comes with the study guide keyed to each chapter.
