David was a shepherd and a king, a soldier and a poet, a sinner and a saint. He was also a man after God's own heart. In this Christian classic, Alan Redpath blends insights from 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, and Psalms to demonstrate how God shapes those who are responsive to his love.
Despite his many faults, David became a man who wondrously understood and reflected the mind of God. Both men and women will find themselves identifying with David's struggles and triumphs, giving them a glimpse of how God is continually shaping them as well.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"The conversion of a soul is the miracle of a moment; the manufacture of a saint is the task of a lifetime."

The turbulent and triumphant incidents in the life of the shepherd-king David illustrate that truth most clearly. Despite his faults, great and small, David became a man who wondrously understood and reflected the mind of a perfect God.

Beloved author Alan Redpath brings David to life and shows us how we can learn from a man who was utterly human but reached for the divine. Richly blending insights from 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, and portions of the Psalms, Redpath demonstrates how God shapes those who are responsive to His love, even through times of trial and despair.

Through an understanding of David's great faith in the midst of trouble and tranquility, we can draw closer to God and come into a better understanding of His grace and salvation.

Alan Redpath (1907-1989) left a position as an accountant to answer God's call to preach the gospel. He was pastor of several churches in England before serving as senior minister of the Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, after which he returned to pastor the Charlotte Baptist Chapel in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I wasn’t sure in the beginning of this book that I would want to stick with it. I am so glad that I did! I have learned so much about myself and so much more about the word of God. Thought provoking and a must read for every man!

I liked this book because Alan Redpath opens up a difficult subject, why good people suffer, without making excuses or twisting Scripture. This book is an encouragement to any who are in despair in times of suffering. I loved it and joyfully recommend this to all that are asking "why"

I've read the bible on king David but never had the insight as Allan Redpath describes the difficulty of David's life during his running from Saul. Inspiring and encourages reading the bible on other characters struggles and challenges and how they engaged God during most trialing times. The Making of a Man of God got my attention at a time of maturing as a believer.

Gods word is timeless and true, this book goes step by step through 1st & 2nd Samuel. If you have read these scriptures by your self and find it difficult to understand, read the NIV where he inserts scripture. Although we did not agree with all of his commentary, each chapter promoted further study and great discussion.

The life of King David is an example for all of us. He was an ordinary man, who struggled with the same problems we struggle with today. God used him because he had a heart to follow Him.

Was recommended this book from a friend and have literally come away from each chapter looking,assessing, understanding and trusting my faith in Jesus in a different way. Easy to read and very well written. Redpath takes you through the life of David and applies the struggles and maturing of his faith with God to our lives. Would say if you are looking to challenge yourself, read more Into the book of Samuel and the comoreponding Psalms, understand King David, understand God in the old testament and even understand your faith get this book! Use it in groups, alone, or with a friend.

'The Making of a Man of God' has excellent teaching on God's grace and mercy for the sincere seeker after Christian development and responsible Christain leadership. I would recommend it for a mature Bible study group or for personal devotions. Although this book has been out of print for many years the revue on the back cover gives the reason for its succes, "Redpath demonstrates how God shapes those who are responsive to His love, even through times of trial and despair."
