The debut release from Clover Press' new line of THE MARVEL ART OF high end coffee table books With an illustrious career spanning nearly three decades, David Mack has created some of the most iconic and memorable artwork in the history of comics. He's known for his work on Marvel titles such as DAREDEVIL, ALIAS, and JESSICA JONES, as well as co-creating the character Echo, all of which have earned him widespread recognition and critical acclaim. His film and television credits include creating the title sequences for Marvel Studios' Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the Emmy-nominated title sequences for the Netflix series Marvel's Jessica Jones. The Marvel Art Of David Mack collects Mack's art for DAREDEVIL and other Marvel books, and includes never-before-seen sketches, behind-the-scenes material, a foreword written by Vincent D'Onofrio, who played Wilson Fisk in the Netflix series Marvel's Daredevil and in Marvel Studios' Hawkeye, and an afterword by Brian Michael Bendis.
The story of King David, his childhood, his battle with the Philistines, his women, and the tragedy of his son Absalom, is full of excitement, but yet is only a part of his life. His relationship with the Lord God was the key thing, and he danced before the Lord. He was also the first King of Israel, and our story starts at the time when Jerusalem was conquered by Babylon, and its people taken away into captivity. They started to look back at the foundation myths of their history, and the story of David and Solomon, when the kingdom was at the height of its glory, seemed to be just the story to tell. So that is how the collection of stories of David came to be compiled into the books we can read today.
A delightful retelling of how David is chosen as king, especially for under 5s. Featuring full-colour photographic spreads of the much- loved characters from The Big Bible Storybook, this board book is perfectly sized for small hands, with short text for a parent or carer to read to the child.
A reexamination of the biblical David, legendary warrior, poet, and king, by one of America’s most respected rabbis Of all the figures in the Bible, David arguably stands out as the most perplexing and enigmatic. He was many things: a warrior who subdued Goliath and the Philistines; a king who united a nation; a poet who created beautiful, sensitive verse; a loyal servant of God who proposed the great Temple and founded the Messianic line; a schemer, deceiver, and adulterer who freely indulged his very human appetites. David Wolpe, whom Newsweek called “the most influential rabbi in America,” takes a fresh look at biblical David in an attempt to find coherence in his seemingly contradictory actions and impulses. The author questions why David holds such an exalted place in history and legend, and then proceeds to unravel his complex character based on information found in the book of Samuel and later literature. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of an exceptional human being who, despite his many flaws, was truly beloved by God.
"God and whiskey have got me where I am. Too little of the one, too much of the other." - David King, Chatham, Canada, 1895. Born a slave in 1847, but raised as a free man on the world-renowned, African-American Elgin Settlement near present-day Chatham, Ontario, David King is a man whose life has been defined by his violent rebellion against the very person who freed him - the Reverend William King. Far from the pulpit he was intended to fill as the Reverend King's anointed successor, David has lost his faith in God and humanity. He has also turned his back on both his past and his own people by abandoning the Elgin Settlement for nearby Chatham after a final, shattering confrontation with the Reverend King. Undoubtedly, the most unconventional man in town, David is also - thanks to his illegal after-hours tavern, Sophia's, and his highly lucrative grave robbing business - one of Chatham's richest citizens, white or black, and certainly its best read. Triggered by the news of the elderly Reverend King's death, the middle-aged David is compelled to revisit a past he thought he left behind, but which - as evidenced by his inability to embrace the happiness he so dearly earned - he clearly has not. Ranging over the early years of the pioneering Elgin Settlement, David's wild, whiskey-fueled early years in Chatham as a factory worker and apprentice grave-robber, and his day-to-day life with his ex-prostitute German lover in present-day, 1895 Chatham, David is a portal to a fascinating, if mostly unknown piece of Canadian history, as well as, the story of one man's search for wisdom, peace, and forgiveness.
This classic text by Charles Kingsley presents five famous sermons by King David. David is described in the Hebrew Bible as a king of the United Monarchy of Israel and Judah. In the Books of Samuel, David is a young shepherd and harpist who gains fame by slaying the giant Goliath, a champion of the Philistines in southern Canaan. David becomes a favorite of the first king of united Israel, Saul, and forges a close friendship with Jonathan, a son of Saul.

Most of us don't know much about David except his killing of Goliath as a youth and his adultery with Bathsheba as a middle-aged man, but there's much more to discover. His house would be cursed by violence and death, not only by his baby dying, but the death of Ammon, Absalom, and Adonijah. This book reveals David's family is one where things aren't normal. Readers will discover that amidst the sunshine are many dark shadows, places where David is a frightened fugitive, a bloody warrior, an undisciplined father, an Eastern Ruler, an adulterer, and polygamist, and even a murderer The author explains why David's family rejected him and how he grew up despised, shunned, and looked upon as an outcast, treated with scorn and derision. Finally, this book explains what it means to be someone "after God's own heart." While David was a most extraordinary man, in other ways he was a most ordinary man-often gripped by destructive passion, rocked by family chaos and personal tragedy, and motivated by political expediency. Dive into the book to learn how David's life offers hope to us all.
Meyer's spirited and moving account of the life of King David follows the progress of David from humble shepherd to glorious king of Israel and Judah. The story of David's life and rise from modest beginnings is one of the most celebrated in the Old Testament tradition. This book is an attempt by F. B. Meyer to tell the story of David with a sequential and lively narrative, with the Bible as a source. Meyer's account is readable, colorful and thoroughly rooted in the authentic Biblical canon. We first see David as a bright, courageous young lad, who ascends from obscurity to fame and renown by fighting and defeating the great Goliath. Not merely a great leader, David takes to authoring a great series of sacred songs and hymns celebrating life and the Lord. His wise leadership, which increased the influence of Judaism and its interpretation of God, led David to become one of the most important figures in the Holy Bible.
