The heroes and villains of the Old Testament were not that different from us. We owe it to ourselves to study their stories. The books of Genesis through Esther in the Old Testament tell the story of a special family that God used in executing His plan to save humanity. The history of this people, with all their triumphs and failures, serves as a useful guide today for those who are struggling to find their own path through life. In a career spanning several decades working with a single congregation, David King wrote hundreds of articles for the church's weekly bulletin. This volume is a selection of those articles, based on this Old Testament history.
