More was written by and about David than any other person in the Bible. This 128-page illustrated novel on the life of David, second king of Israel, includes more than four hundred illustrated panels and dialog that tells the story of David's life. Volume 1 covers David's life from age fifteen to thirty. Dr. Richard Pratt, Old Testament scholar, Harvard ThD, wrote: In David: The Illustrated Novel, Michael Thompson takes us on the grand adventure of walking beside a man after God's own heart. Michael Thompson's creative approach offers us all the opportunity to enter David's life in ways we may never have experienced. He writes in the genre of an illustrated novel, a genre that has enjoyed widespread acceptance throughout the world for centuries. This artistic and compelling illustrated novel offers fresh reflections on the personal struggles of a man who served God in challenging times. To the publisher's knowledge, no book like it has ever been produced.
