Gene colourfully reflects on the differences between King Saul, David, and Absalom by creatively (and quite accurately) filling in gaps to the story. His writing has a Max Lucado style. It speaks to the difference between a king that is suited for the Kingdom of God and and earthly king. One seeks the approval of man and rules like a dictator, the other seeks the approval of God and rules like a servant. This process of becoming a servant is found in how we respond to the things that try to break us... do we take matters into our own hands or do we humbly trust God?
It's a must read for anyone in Church leadership and it's a must read for anyone that has been (or is presently being) hurt by Church leadership. I found it convicting and inspiring.
