Short Description: Those facing the pain and brokenness that result from unfair treatment by other believers will be encouraged by this powerful story of David, Saul, and Absalom.
I read this incredible book in one setting. It deals with authority - using David, Saul and Absalom as examples. As each reader goes through this book, they will find they have a little of each of these men in them.
How should you respond when you are targeted by someone who is abusing their power or position? The author asks the question speaking about David, "What do you do when someone throws a spear at you?" The author also wrestles with the question, "How can you tell if your king (leader, pastor, boss) is the Lord's annointed?"
Speaking of Saul, "Keep in mind that some who have been given the very power of God have raised armies, defeated the enemy, brought forth might works of God, preached and prophesied with unparalleled power and elquence ... and thrown spears, and hated people, and attacked others, and plotted to kill, and prophesied naked, and even consulted witches."
This is a must read for any leader. At times, we will be faced with some of the same decisions wrestled with in this book. If you are looking for easy answers - this is not the book for you. However, if you are looking for peircing questions that cut to your own motives, then this book can be used by the Spirit of God to move your heart.
After you read this book - leave your thoughts in the comments below. I welcome them and would enjoy responding.
