  What does it mean to be a person after God's own heart? Is this the honour of the privileged few who are born with holiness in their hormones? Scripture tells us otherwise. David was described as a man after God's own heart but was both favoured and flawed, blessed and broken, holy and human. The disciples who gathered in the upper room after Jesus' ascension were transformed, by the Holy Spirit, from fearful followers into bold men and women who spoke with confidence of God's saving grace. The apostle Peter wrote to persecuted believers to tell them that they were a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. As you journey with David, Peter and a host of others through this text, may you discover what it is to be a person after God's own heart. The Salvation Army's writer, Major Barbara Sampson, aims to bring a fresh approach to daily Bible readings, which are accompanied by thoughtful and informative notes, suitable for all denominations.

  The psalmist David declared that he wanted only one thing and that was to 'gaze upon the beauty of the Lord' (Ps 27:4). David was king over Israel, a man of great power and authority, yet for him everything in life was distilled into that one longing. This edition of Words of Life contains many opportunities to 'gaze upon the beauty of the Lord': More names of Jesus from the Gospel of John; A contemplative walk through Psalm 27; A close look at God's friend Abraham; A study of the New Testament letter of 2 Peter; A Sunday series on spiritual disciplines; A guest contribution on the theme of 'dwelling'; A study of the Old Testament prophet Zephaniah; The final breathtaking chapters of the Book of Acts.
