The Search for God's Own Heart: How imperfect people can earn the most treasured title of all

He defeated a giant with a slingshot, sang like a angel and couldn't say no to lust. He spent the first years of his Search in the fields of Bethlehem, the next years running for his life, and the final years becoming the greatest king Israel has ever known. In the process, David became known as "a man after God's own heart." Not everyone in the Bible qualifies for such a title. Take Eli, his sons, and King Saul, for instance. They missed the mark terribly. Yet their stories, too, provide clues for finding a genuine relationship with God. These are some of the most famous stories in the Bible and they carry some of the Bible's most important lessons. If there is in you even the slightest desire to be a person "after God's own heart," spending time with these lessons will pay enormous dividends. So welcome to The Search. You'll soon find what you're looking for simply by starting on the journey. This second edition of The Search for God's Own Heart has been significantly updated since its first release in 2001. That shouldn't be surprising. As The Search continues for all of us, new lessons are learned. Mistakes are made. Wisdom surfaces. New fears are faced and new stories are collected. In all of it, God's heart is waiting to be found along every step of the journey. So take your place in The Search. You'll discover what you were searching for almost as soon as you make the commitment to find it!
