About this title: This profound look at the life of David digs deeply into the defeats he suffered and the victories he won as he faced the giants in his life. Goliaths still roam in this world--debt, disaster, divorce, depression. Christians do what David did. They become God-focused, they pick up five stones, they make five decisions, and they take a swing.

"I read this in large print (great in low light), and learned more about the life of David than I knew before (from in the Bible). He conquered Goliath, and had other giants to face in his life besides Goliath... like King Saul who was trying to kill him. Interesting writing style, showing some similarities between life as we know it today and life as David knew it. When we humans focus on ourselves, we always fall short, even David. In good or bad times, it's best to stay focused on God's will, not our will... or things could get worse."
"A must read for those trying to understand and survive rough times and trials. Despite the greatest urge to read it through in one day, the lessons and story of David made me take one new day to read one chapter and meditate on its meaning and its personal meaning for me.
If your struggling and most importantly wondering how you is using you .. you'll find yourself realizing how much David is very much like us and how god helps you overcome fears and trials."
"Life is never flat. This is what the book persistently tries to convey. Yet, through the rise and fall of subjective legitimacy, we suppose to realize the greatest power beyond human's most outreach - The existence of God. Personally, life is created with purpose and we shall finish it by completing the purpose given to us. Our focus must be reset. Regard the greatest power and He will regard your giants."
"This is an amazing book that helps readers overcome their fears/giants/or whatever you want to come them by analyzing the story of David. God calls David a man after His heart, even though David failed badly with Bathsheba and his own family. Lucado explains why we fail when we focus on our giants, but will succeed if we focus on God. I was really challenge by Lucado's analysis of David's story, especially the chapters on distant diety, tough promises, and dashed hopes. I also learned a lot from the chapters on silent phones, desperate days, strongholds, thin air-ogance, and take Goliath down! Read this book to learn how to take your Goliath down, whether it's "bills you can't pay, people you can't please, habits you can't break, failures you can't forget, a future you can't face," unemployment, or anything else!
Favorite Quotes: (P. 7) One might read David's story and wonder what God saw in him. The fellow fell as often as he stood, stumbled as often as he conquered. He stared down Goliath, yet ogled at Bathsheba; defied God-mockers in the valley, yet joined them in the wilderness. An Eagle Scout one day. Chumming with the Mafia the next. He could lead armies but couldn't manage a family. Raging David. Weeping David. Bloodthirsty. God-hungry. Eight wives. One God. A man after God's own heart? That God saw him as such gives hope to us all. David's life has little to offer the unstained saint. Straight-A souls find David's story disappointing. The rest of us find it reassuring. We ride the same roller coaster. We alternate between swan dives and belly flops, souffles and burnt toast.
(P. 138) The story of David and Bathsheba is less a story of lust and more a story of power. A story of a man who rose too high for his own good. A man who needed to hear these words: "Come down before you fall.""
