This is one of the best books that I have ever read.The author is talented.This book is hard to put down and many parts were so rich in interest and detail I had a hard time putting this book down. This is a story rich with intrigue, action , mystery and love of the early life of KIng David from his birth until right after he killed Goliath.It is also biblically accurate. A fantastic, historical, intriguing Biblical book.
