Do you know where to turn in the midst of brokenness? Have you exchanged self-reliance for absolute trust in the living God?
In A Heart for God: Lessons from the Life of David, Dr. Michael Youssef takes you on a journey through the highs and lows of David’s life. As you explore his greatest victories and deepest failures in First and Second Samuel, you’ll see God’s faithfulness to use willing vessels for His glory. As you experience David’s most desperate cries in the Psalms, you’ll witness the power of a life completely surrendered to God. And as you see the grander picture of David’s life, you’ll also discover how it all points to Christ Jesus, the perfect King who uses broken people to do great things for His Kingdom.
