Based on epic biblical accounts, The Mighty Men of King David chronicles the life of the classic shepherd boy character beyond his famed encounter with Goliath. From a unique perspective, the novel highlights David's first encounter, relationship and bond with those who came to be known as his Mighty Men. The story creatively brings each character to life by weaving in fictional personalities and stories that beautifully tie into the factual events revealed in scripture. With heart, the novel highlights the seldom told story of a group of lowly outcasts taken in by David, and their extraordinary transformation into mighty warriors. The novel reveals that David's rise as king over God's chosen people was not attained through his merits alone, but by the grace of God and the help of his beloved Mighty Men.
This is the first book of the brothers Gutierrez. The writing is good but relies too heavy on scripture and loads David's mouth with many verses that do not belong to him. An entertaining read.
