God wrote more in the Bible about David than any other human that ever lived on Earth. Why was so much space given to him? Because God wanted us to learn David s spiritual secret, which was how he faced the same troubles, trials, and disasters that we all face and yet kept on serving God. In the Book of Psalms we find the record of David s life lived each day walking with God. From David s struggles with finding purpose for his life to coping with feelings of spiritual failure and abandonment, his life represents the struggles of all believers. David s Spiritual Secret offers encouragement in every circumstance and in all walks of life. If you want to learn to live the life of a believer after God s own heart, this book is for you.
