The Old Testament book of 1 Samuel records the story of three important leaders in Israels history: Samuel, Saul, and David. The lives of these flawed men showcase Gods gracious response to ancient Israels leadership crisis, offering valuable lessons related to why leaders fail, the impact this failure can have on God's people, and what it means to model godly leadershipeven today.
In this accessible commentary, John Woodhouse shows how 1 Samuel reveals the importance of true leadership and the character of the godly leader. More significantly, this volume points forward to Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of Gods promises to his people and the only perfect leader the world has ever known.
Those who preach and teach God's Word will find this an invaluable resource as they seek to help others embrace 1 Samuel's timely message.
