    This is the kind of book that people will either love or hate. Its short easy to read chapters keep you in the story while challenging you to agree Edwards' main point. However, it is also a classic study in eisegesis where he reads into the story what he needs in order to make his point hit home. This is not the biblical story of Saul, David and Absalom but a caricature in order to make a point about proper church leadership. Quite frankly any church led by a "David" is a church in crisis looking for a place to happen. David's doing "nothing" as Absalom gathers others around him is not a pattern to emulate. Furthermore, the biblical story is one in which David acted to defeat Absalom's forces and take back the kingdom, not one in which he did nothing and let God give it back to him. At best this story is well intentioned but dishonest. Am I a Saul, a David or an Absalom for pointing that out?

    Piercing. It leaves your heart questioning, longing for the things of God. It leaves you pondering brokenness.

    Wonderfully terrible! Left me exposed and in need of repentance in a way that only the Holy Spirit can do.

    WOW! that's the first thing I said when I finished this book. It is written like you might be watching a play... I especially enjoyed the chapter with The Sage. It made me laugh, and cry, and think, qualities I find valuable in any book.
