King David and His Songs: A Story of the Psalms

By Mary Fabyan Windeatt

Book Overview

Join Mary Fabyan Windeatt in this engaging retelling of a classical Biblical story. Told from a fresh and imaginative perspective, the reader will see King David's story in an entirely new viewpoint: what will happen to a boy who challenges a giant Goliath? How can the same man be a shepherd and a king, a warrior and a fugitive, a hero and a villain--all while being the ancestor of Our Lord?

Mary Fabyan Windeatt was known as "the storyteller of the saints." In the 1950's and 60's she wrote over twenty historical fiction novels on the saints, bringing to life these holy men and women for young readers across the world. By artistically rendering familiar stories, the Windeatt books help readers see that the saints are real people whom we can emulate.

Review from the Publisher

King David and his rise from shepherd boy to King of Israel. How he slew Goliath, became a leader of armies, had to flee for his life, how he wrote the Psalms (holy songs), became a great king and an ancestor of Jesus.
