Sobre IBD

'The aim of this book has been no more than to give an imaginative construction of David’s life from when he was a petty king in Hebron to the birth of Solomon,' says S. Fowler Wright in his Preface, but this summary ignores the vivid characters that the author has created in this riveting historical novel taken from the pages of The Old Testament. David must overcome impossible odds in creating a Jewish kingdom in the Holy Land of 1,000 B.C. But when he finds himself falling in love with the wife of one of his warlords, he must choose between the needs and the state--and the needs of the statesman he has become! 3
