Of all the characters in the Bible, it is David who is most human. His life is lived on the "rough-edged actuality" of real life, and his relationship with God is an energetic one. Through the passions, the trials, and the lyrical poetry of this beloved figure, we gain powerful insights into the role of God in our own lives.

In this inspirational volume, Professor Eugene H. Peterson, translator of The Message, uses stories from David's epic life as vivid lessons in everyday faith and spirituality. Exploring David's experiences of friendship, grief, love, sin, and suffering, as well as sanctuary, beauty, and wilderness, he reawakens us to the enduring truths behind these beloved stories.

About the Author:

Eugene H. Peterson, author of The Message, a bestselling translation of the Bible, is professor emeritus of spiritual theology at Regent College, British Columbia, and the author of over thirty books. He and his wife, Jan, live in Montana.

From Booklist:
Peterson's mother told him many stories when he was a child, filling them with vital detail and color. Later he learned that she had, although never violating their spirit, embroidered some of the Bible stories. He does as much to the stories of David that he retells, but he points out his variations from what the Bible says and states his reasons for them. Mostly, those reasons seem intended to show that he knows biblical research well and isn't just a talented storyteller strutting his stuff. Both his knowledge and his literary skill are impressive, but not as impressive as his ability to make the character of David and the 20 episodes of David's life that he rehearses and interprets illustrate what it is to live consciously in the presence of God, although, like David, one is no miracle worker but all too commonly human. This is an ideal popular companion for study of the man from whom Matthew and Luke labored to show Jesus was descended. Ray Olson

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Leap Over a Wall is Eugene H. Petersons vibrant, insightful, and heartfelt exploration of one of the Bibles most controversial figures: King David. Peterson beautifully elucidates the Old Testaments rich depictions of David's failures and victories, recapturing their excitement and immediacy to reveal David himself as a crucially human example of how we relate to God. A vision brought to life by one of the worlds most respected and influential theologians, the author of The Pastor, The Jesus Way, Practice Resurrection, and The Messagea bestselling contemporary translation of the BibleLeap Over a Wall is a unique opportunity to reconnect with David, a man simultaneously admirable, soulful, and dark, and one of the most complex and vital characters of the greatest story ever written. Bestselling theologian Eugene Peterson uses vividly told stories from the life of the biblical David to illustrate the everyday truths that bring us closer to God. Friendship, grief, love, sin, and suffering, as well as sanctuary, beauty, and wilderness, are all examined in the context of David's lifelong journey. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780060665227
