The Fugitive King by Henry O. Arnold brings the Biblical account of King David to readers in a new and intriguing perspective. This book gives an interesting look at the life of a well-known and well-studied historical and biblical character, King David, the slayer of the giant Goliath, and the one called "a man after God's own heart." Mr. Arnold brings readers this fourth book in his series The Song of Prophets and Kings. Although I have not read the first three books in this series, I was able to read and understand the context of this work. I appreciated the richness of the context of this book with the clear scriptural history and details. It was a very intriguing read for me to have a more first-person view of the life of David and of those in that historic time. I know I take for granted the big picture of the history of David as a shepherd, giant slayer, and king; however, I forget all of the in-between times were full of failures and triumphs and The Fugitive King brings such a worthy tale to life.
Overall, this was a very unique read and full of intrigue, heartbreak, and faith. Happy readings!
