Overview

King David is arguably one of the greatest kings to ever live. He was an unparalleled military leader, unifier of a nation, and exhibited spiritual leadership to name a few of his accomplishments. Although King David was a man after God’s own heart he was imperfect and sinful. Throughout David’s life he was blessed to encounter connections (both positive and negative) with other men that made David who he was. God has built us for connection and your destiny and success is intertwined with your relational life. Ten Men was written to help men define and find their God-given tribe. Author Doug Reed walks readers through ten special relationships that David had with other men in his life and he’ll explain how we need fight against our weaknesses and shortcomings by helping each other. This book is a wonderful opportunity to walk alongside other men in authenticity through a bible study or small group setting to spur one another to spiritual maturity.
