God called David a "man after my own heart." In his good moments, no one was better than David. When David focused on God, giants tumbled. But in his bad moments when he was focused on life's giants, David stumbled.
Today's teens need to be encouraged by David's story as they face the giants of this generation. This teen edition will encourage them to defeat the giants in their lives, whatever they may be. In his unique storytelling style, Max offers five stones of timeless truths that will slay any giant with a clear message that the God who could make a miracle of David and his checkered life stands ready to make one of them.
