From the Back Cover

I SAMUEL. Things don t look good for Israel. Military attacks threaten from without, and moral corruption destroys from within. But God, in His Grace, will use three men to guide Israel through these crises into the next stage of His plan. Samuel, the prophet who directs Israel s transition from judgeship to monarchy; Saul, the first king, who epitomizes what God doesn t want in a leader; and David, the man after God s own heart. These men remain perfect examples of godliness-and half-hearted commitment-for Christians today. LifeChange Series: Christians have a lifelong goal: to become like Christ. This involves change, and change isn t always easy. But the more you know of God s purposes for you, the more you can experience His joy and participate in His plan. The LifeChange Series of Bible studies on books of the Bible can help you grow in Christlikeness through a life-changing encounter with God s Word. You ll benefit in these important ways: 1) You ll gain a firm understanding of the book-its historical context, purpose, structure, and meaning; 2) You ll apply its powerful, relevant wisdom to needs and issues you are currently working through; and 3) You ll acquire personal study skills and a thirst to return to the book on your own-so you can keep going deeper into its life-transforming truths.
