The Life of David
Digital Logos Edition
“The life of David marked an important epoch in the unfolding of God's purpose and plan of redemption.” Pink explores the life of David both as a type of Christ and as the story of a man who shared God's heart, yet was subject to human failure and shortcoming. The life of one of Israel's greatest kings also serves as an inspiration to all believers as they seek to love and serve God faithfully.

About A. W. Pink
A. W. Pink (1886-1952) a native of Nottingham, England, whose life as a pastor and writer was spent in a variety of locations in the British Isles, the United States, and Australia. As a young man he turned away from the Christian faith of his parents and became an adherent of the theosophical cult; but then he experienced an evangelical conversion and crossed the Atlantic in 1910, at the age of 24, to become a student at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. After only six weeks, however, he left to take up a pastoral ministry. It was during the years that followed that he found his way to a strictly Calvinistic position in theology. He was soon wielding a quite prolific pen. As one whose life was devoted to the study and exposition of the Scriptures, he became the author of numerous books which the Banner of Truth Trust has been assiduously reprinting in recent times. No doubt his chief monument is the paper Studies in the Scriptures which he produced monthly and regularly for a period of thirty years from the beginning of 1922 until his death in 1952.

I love reading Pink's work and The Life of David is fascinating. My only complaint is with the editing. After the title of each chapter, the location in Scripture is noted. Some of the chapters of the Bible are incorrect. Not a big problem, just good to know. I read the chapter in the Bible first and then I read Pink's observations.
