title: A Heart Like His: Intimate Reflections on the Life of David
author:  Beth Moore 
description: In this extended reflection on the life of David, drawn from the accounts in the two books of Samuel and from the Psalms, author and self-described Sunday school teacher Beth Moore translates into plain and direct language the message she finds in this story of a shepherd boy who is chosen as God's own servant. Moore approaches these texts not as a scholar but as a believer. As the inclusion of review questions would suggest, her interest here is less historical and more immediately pragmatic: she wishes to see what David's life has to say to followers of Christ. Her reading is personal, yet supported by a study of the Hebrew and Greek texts--above all, the notes to the book suggest, through a number of Bible dictionaries and concordances. While apparently not well-versed in English poetry (she calls John Dryden a 16th-century philosopher when most would call him a 17th-century poet), the real appeal of the book for many will lie in its approachable style: the writing is direct, personal, and honest. She writes, she tells people, as a "regular" person who says, "I don't make Christ part of my life; He is my life." <i>--Doug Thorpe</i>

  Her beautiful eyes flashing with hate, Rebecca faced Lord David Tavistock. He
  had come back, wounded but still vibrantly, sensually alive, from the Crimean
  War. Julian Cardwell, her sweet, gentle bridegroom — and David's foster
  brother — had not. She blamed wild, reckless David for Julian's decision to
  enter the Queen's Guards, and for the devastating loss of her perfect young
  husband, whose memory even now broke her heart and filled her dreams.
  
  ONE PROMISED HER A FUTURE...
  
  His blue eyes shadowed by dark secrets, David had come to claim the woman he
  had always loved. All his life he had protected the charming Julian, hiding
  the truth from Rebecca about the women Julian dallied with, the child he had
  fathered, the scandalous way he died. Now David offered Rebecca a life of
  privilege and wealth—as his  wife. She wanted a marriage of convenience, but
  he intended to awake her deepest passions, to
