For decades the nation of Israel had no rest from her enemies. The people cried out, "Give us a king to lead us, to go out before us, to fight our battles." And Yahweh hears the cries of the chosen. He plucks a king out of the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest of the tribes-Saul, son of a herdsman. The prophet Samuel anoints him as Israel's first warrior king. Under the banner of the wolf, the symbol of his tribe, Saul rises to prominence, winning the hearts and minds of the people of Israel with his success on the battlefield and benevolent leadership. But when the nation of Israel cries out, "For the love of Israel. For the glory of Yahweh. For the honor of the king," the praises of the people turn the humble heart of the warrior king into one filled with pride-a pride that has fatal consequences. In this tale of triumph and tribulation, deepest love and burning rivalries, the new epoch is given a voice...and it is a Song of Prophets and Kings.… (altro)

The book takes us on a journey through Biblical times when Saul was king. Not everyone was pleased with him and many did not want to recognize him as king. The burden he and his family faced was filled with despair, pride and at times loneliness. The details are vivid and easy to visualize. That one moment when Saul takes out his anger in a vicious way may cause harm to many. I think we can all agree that at some point in our lives we have let our anger overtake us.

As a bloody battle ensues who will be the victor? The author does a good job of taking us into the middle of uncertainty as King Saul and his army descends on their enemy. The determination to win is fierce and you can smell fear on those nearby. I enjoyed the encounter between King Saul and Samuel. Wise words were spoken but will King Saul follow them? From their conversation, there is a hint that pride may be slipping in and Samuel has cautioned King Saul of this. Having power does something to some and at times they become fixated on the power they have and not the good of others.

Jonathan is someone I have always been intrigued with. His father the king can be very demanding at times. When it is discovered that Jonathan has perhaps sinned, what will the consequences be? The story is epic as it traces the life of King Saul. We watch him weep over the death of his wife and hear the words of the prophet that penetrate his heart. As David comes into the picture the author gives us a glimpse of what is to come.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion. ( )
