The Biblical King David is well known for the Sunday School vignettes “David and Goliath” and “David and Bathsheba.” Children are taught the simple lessons of faith and obedience, punishment and reward. As children age, their ability to understand the complexities of life grows. They will have more questions and will need answers with depth and thoughtfulness. In this spirit, this Study Guide is presented. King David was more than an example or a paragon. He was a man and a king, a sinner and a saint, a steadfast friend and an adulterer, a murderer and a friend of God.

The SneakerBlossom Bible Literature Study Guides for King David are not intended to be devotionals. They are intended to give the students a sense of the story of David—the flow of his life and the lessons we can learn from it. As always, the discussion questions are approached with a Christian worldview. Each lesson includes a work of art with pertinent discussion questions.

The Student Workbooks are available with black and white art at SneakerBlossom Books’ low, affordable price, or with full-color art (pricier). All e-books versions have full-color art, as does the SneakerBlossom Art Guide for King David. All male nudity has been modestly fig-leafed.
