1 Samuel: Looking For A Leader What kind of leaders should we follow? What kind of leaders should we be? And what does God have to do with it? These are some of the questions inherant in the book of 1 Samuel, as well as some of the quesitons facing us in modern society, and even within the church. Ancient Israel's massive leadership crisis was met through three men – Samuel, Saul, and David – in ways that forever changed the character of Israel's leadership and clarified what God requires of His people and their leaders. But as John Woodhouse demonstrates in this perceptive commentary, 1 Samuel's portrait of the divine response to Israel's dilemma does more than reveal what God expects. |
