Biblical Fiction #4: The Complicated Psyche of King David

In my opinion King David is one of the most complex characters in all of the Bible. What were his relationships to Saul, Jonathan and Michal all about? How did his betrayal of Uriah come about? How did Nathan come to be David's prophet, and are there really missing books written by Nathan? (See 1 Chr 29 and 2 Chr 9 for biblical references.)

Geraldine Brooks is a prolific writer of historical fiction. In the book The Secret Chord she gives us an imaginative, historically possible, insight into her vision of the stories of King David.

Again, this is not scriptural material, so don't take it too seriously! These books are great for fun, summer reading, but they can not replace a reading of the inspired Word of God!
