A Heart Like His: Intimate Reflections
on the Life of David by Beth Moore
A Heart Like His
In this extended reflection on the life of David, drawn from the accounts in
the two books of Samuel and from the Psalms, author and self-described
Sunday school teacher Beth Moore translates into plain and direct
language the message she finds in this story of a shepherd boy who is
chosen as Gods own servant. Moore approaches these texts not as a
scholar but as a believer. As the inclusion of review questions would
suggest, her interest here is less historical and more immediately
pragmatic: she wishes to see what Davids life has to say to followers of
Christ. Her reading is personal, yet supported by a study of the Hebrew
and Greek texts--above all, the notes to the book suggest, through a
number of Bible dictionaries and concordances. While apparently not well-
versed in English poetry (she calls John Dryden a 16th-century
philosopher when most would call him a 17th-century poet), the real
appeal of the book for many will lie in its approachable style: the writing is
direct, personal, and honest. She writes, she tells people, as a regular

person who says, I dont make Christ part of my life; He is my life. --Doug

Personal Review: A Heart Like His: Intimate Reflections on the
Life of David by Beth Moore
Reading this book is like eating Thanksgiving dinner. You read until you
are stuffed with so much information. Then you have to stop and ingest it.
You have to pray over what you have learned; soaking in all of the extra
insight and knowledge. Then after the feeling of fullness begins to
subside, you go back for more...and more...and more! This book is not
only a glimpse at the life of David. It also explores other people who were
important in making David the man that God intended for him to be. While
exploring David's life, you will begin to explore your own life...your own
ministry. None of us are worthy or perfect by any means. This book
explores David's weaknesses in a way that you can compare your own
short comings and know that you can be a person after Gods own heart.
