The Boy With a Sling: The Story of David and Goliath (Arch Books)
The Boy With a Sling The Story of David and Goliath - Arch Books Author:Sally Mathews (Illustrator), Mary Warren The story of David and Goliath is so loved by all children because here a "big bully," the giant Goliath, gets outsmarted and defeated by the "little guy," David. — In a way this story stands for the entire history of the People of God. God surprises us again and again by the instruments He chooses: the little nation Israel, t... more »he timid Moses (Exodus 4:10-16), the young shepherd boy David, the little nobody Mary, the simple fishermen, the unimpressive speaker Paul (1 Corinthians 2:1-5). God gives His Spirit and power to the least likely people and changes the lives of men and of nations through them.
It is really not David or Moses or any of the important figures of the Bible who is the "hero," but God, who saves His People through them, who "resists the proud" and is the Champion of the oppressed. It is He who gives power to the powerless, wisdom to the simple, and opens up new possibilities where men see only a dead end.
