1 Samuel: Looking on the Heart (Focus on the Bible)

One of the reasons I enjoy Davis's exposition so much is that I feel confident that he has done his exegetical homework, and so is not just delivering blessed, unhistorical thoughts on the text. Yet at the same time, he applies the text so well.

A great feast of biblical truth made so digestible, garnished with so many apt illustrations.

This is the best expository commentary I have read in many years. It is comprehensive, up to date and easily read.

presents historical and theological material in a way that can only excite the expositor.

Enthusiasm for these commentaries is absolutely right. No preacher should be without them. No thoughtful Christian can fail to be excited and edified by them.

... readable and theologically reliable. This commentary is of value both as a book to be read and enjoyed and as a study book for preachers. It is excellent.

This is a superbly easy-to-read book. But the thing I liked best was the incisive application. It is not possible to read this book and feel unchallenged.

A happy blend of exegetical and historical study on the one hand, and homiletical treatment and application on the other. Ideas pop out everywhere, even in the most unlikely places. New insights abound.

An excellent, crisp, lively exposition.

The most practical expository work that this reviewer has ever encountered.
