Jubilee Lipsey Bücher

Still reeling from his father's break with the God of Israel, Prince Jonathan is in line to inherit a throne that has already been stripped from his family. The young shepherd David is the man after God's own heart, chosen to take Jonathan's place. Carrying a secret anointing that won't stay hidden, David yearns to fight alongside his childhood hero rather than against him, but his calling threatens both their lives at every turn. Instead of fighting to the death over a crown that can't belong to both of them, the two young warriors forsake rivalry and pledge themselves to a friendship forged in the passionate pursuit of the God who called them-both. Walk alongside two Biblical heroes as they embrace the will of God through a selfless covenant that would withstand the brutal tests of family jealousy and war-a friendship that would change history.

For three years, the shepherd warrior David has been like a son to the king he'll eventually replace. But Saul's jealous fury burns out of control, branding David a traitor and forcing him to flee for his life. Taking refuge in the cave-scarred wilds of Judah, the young giant-killer is joined by The Mighty, a fugitive resistance group hoping to end Saul's reign. Pursued by the king all over Israel, David grapples with the thorn in his anointing, wondering if his heart will survive the path to the throne. With a very different kind of flock depending on him now, is it right for him to persist in his vow to spare Saul?Still honor-bound to the brother he loves and the king he no longer trusts, Saul's son Jonathan agonizes over how to protect his wife and child from the disaster his father is inviting. Who else will have to die before David can rule?Drawn by promises that make their hearts bleed, David and Jonathan face a battle fiercer than any Philistine's hatred. Will their faith be strong enough to endure the wounds of weapons forged by family? Will their honor withstand the flames of what they'll have to sacrifice for Israel's future? Does Yahweh really want a broken king?
