About this book

This dramatic retelling of the accounts of the first two kings of Israel follows the intertwining stories of Jonathan, Saul, David and Michal documented in 1 and 2 Samuel.

In this imaginative yet biblically faithful book, readers will find themselves immersed in the hearts and minds of the key players as they experience battles, intrigue, plots, betrayal, love and friendship.

This resource is a great way to help kids aged 8-13 engage with God’s word. They’ll be left thinking about what it means to trust God and realising that only Jesus can really be the king God’s people need.

Endorsements

While staying faithful to the Bible plotline, Katy Morgan draws out the hopes, the fears, the belief and the unbelief all used by God to bring David to the throne.

Christopher Ash Writer-in-Residence, Tyndale House, Cambridge.

The retelling of the biblical narrative really draws you into the action and tension of the story and, importantly, excites your curiosity to read the pages of the Bible itself.

Mike Dicker Principal, Youthworks College, New South Wales, Australia

Katy brings to life an extraordinary biblical story so that young people feel the power of God to work in our ordinary lives to achieve his amazing purposes.

Ed Drew Ministry Director, Faith in Kids; Author, Raising Confident Kids

Far too many people believe the Old Testament is largely irrelevant. Katy Morgan shows us that it is bursting with promise, feasting and song. Her vivid writing, combined with her deep knowledge of the ancient world, plunges us into this unfolding drama. The heartbeat of this book is a longing for its readers to find confidence in the then-coming-now-arrived King of Israel. Katy is a gifted storyteller—the pacing will keep younger readers engaged while the detail will help older readers reflect.

5.00 stars Amazing!

 

It is an amazing book! I couldn't put it down. As I read The Songs of a Warrior, it felt like I was actually there, experiencing Jonathan's early life and meeting Samuel the prophet, as well as David, the shepherd boy.
