The complexities of David are captured here in this short story, as well as in the two Lion of War books I have read to date. A man who experienced the fire of covering from God as he battled, yet experienced deep depression in his life, as well.The battle scenes with the lion and bear drew me in as I visualized this young man fighting for his own life, as well as that of his flock. The fierceness of the battle, the rage of David, the covering from God....amazing!While I understand that writer's license is taken with some of the scenes--especially when David returns to his home--it still gives me a glimpse of the insecurities David may have felt when he was with his brothers and father and how they might truly have felt about him (1 Samuel 17:28ff gives us an idea about that!).I'm a fan of this series and am eagerly awaiting every installment that follows in The Hall of the Mighty Men, as well as the rest of the novels to complete the Lion of War series.
