1 Samuel: A King After God's Own Heart (Reformed Expository Bible Studies)

First Samuel is a riveting read that introduces us to some of the most memorable figures in the Old Testament--some righteous and some desperately corrupt. The greatest of its heroes is David, a mighty man of faith who makes his distinctive contribution in preparing God's people for the Anointed One, the Messiah who comes to rule and to save.

Designed for groups and individuals, this Reformed Expository Bible Study gives users the resources they need to delve into God's Word and understand and apply it for themselves, leading to biblical transformation. Background information and commentary lay the groundwork before readers observe and analyze the Scripture text. Each of the thirteen lessons makes connections to the rest of the Bible and to Reformed theology before concluding with a section for personal application and a prayer prompt.
