Synopsis

Sin is serious because God is Holy. Even if we are trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, the burden of our sin can quickly rob us of our Christian joy. So what should we do when we’ve done wrong in the eyes of God? This is the question that famously faced King David. In this brutally honest and hugely helpful book, Dai Hankey helps us to consider David’s spiritual journey. We’ll see the mess of David’s sin and the depths of his brokenness, but we’ll also see that hearing God’s word and responding in repentance turned David’s life around. Dai 'grabs us by the scruff of the neck' to do likewise and turn to God. As we do, we'll experience afresh the joy of being forgiven, no matter how far we may feel we’ve fallen.

He uses this example as one that calls the believer to confess their sins to the Lord and rest on the grace and mercy of God. The final two chapters focus on Psalms 51 and 32 to look at what a......more

Goodreads review by Tom on April 08, 2020

This book is brilliant for how short it is. I really like the way the book is organised, each chapter follows a different stage of David's journey back to joy with God after committing adultery and murder. A wonderful encouragement that although we are sinners, and although there is time for mournin......more

This book reads like a sermon about David’s sin against Bathsheba, and it’s a wonderful message to any believer who had sinned against God. You can be forgive a and restored in your relationship with the Father.......more

Goodreads review by Rohan on July 09, 2020

A brief summary of David's repentance, which was fine. But I was hoping for a more closer look at repentance as a concept rather than a retelling of David's story.......more
