Produktbeschreibung
Meyer's spirited and moving account of the life of King David follows the progress of David from humble shepherd to glorious king of Israel and Judah. The story of David's life and rise from modest beginnings is one of the most celebrated in the Old Testament tradition. This book is an attempt by F. B. Meyer to tell the story of David with a sequential and lively narrative, with the Bible as a source. Meyer's account is readable, colorful and thoroughly rooted in the authentic Biblical canon. We first see David as a bright, courageous young lad, who ascends from obscurity to fame and renown by fighting and defeating the great Goliath. Not merely a great leader, David takes to authoring a great series of sacred songs and hymns celebrating life and the Lord. His wise leadership, which increased the influence of Judaism and its interpretation of God, led David to become one of the most important figures in the Holy Bible. F. B. Meyer was one of England's best-known Biblical theologians in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Educated in theology as a young man, he would spend decades preaching both in his home country and the United States. Famed and well-regarded on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, Meyer was a household name, in great part due to his prolific written works concerning subjects of the Bible and Christianity. Summing up his objective with this book, Meyer writes: "While sketching every period of David's life, I have concentrated myself on those passages which trace the steps by which the shepherd became the king. It was in these that his character was formed, his sweetest psalms composed, and those manifold experiences encountered which enabled him to interpret and utter the universal heart of man."

Frederick Brotherton Meyer (8 April 1847 - 28 March 1929), a contemporary and friend of D. L. Moody and A. C. Dixon, was a Baptist pastor and evangelist in England who worked in ministry and inner-city missions on both sides of the Atlantic. In an obituary, he was referred to as The Archbishop of the Free Churches. He wrote numerous religious books and essays, many of which are still in print today. Friedrich Meyer was born in London. He attended Brighton College before graduating from the University of London in 1869. He studied theology at Regent's Park College. Meyer was a member of the Higher Life movement and frequently preached at the Keswick Convention. He was recognized as a champion against immorality. He preached against alcoholism and prostitution. He is reported to have led to the closure of hundreds of saloons and brothels. While in York in the early 1870s, F. B. Meyer met American evangelist Dwight L. Moody, whom he introduced to other chapels, churches, and ministers in England in exchange for invitations to minister in America on many occasions. The two pastors formed lifelong friendships.
