About this ebook

How long has your Goliath dominated your days and pilfered your peace?

Like David, you know well the presence of Goliath. Your Goliath doesn’t carry a sword or shield; he brandishes blades of unemployment, abandonment, or depression. Your giant doesn’t parade up and down ancient hills; he prances through your office, your bedroom, your classroom. He brings bills you can’t pay, addictions you can’t resist, a past you can’t shake, and a future you can’t face.

How long has your Goliath stalked you? Invaded your first thought of the morning and last worry of the night?

David knows a little something about facing giants. The shepherd boy seemingly had little to offer against the nine-foot, nine-inch Goliath. You could read his story and wonder what God saw in him. Throughout his life, David fell as often as he stood, stumbled as often as he conquered.

But for those who know the threat of a Goliath, David gives this reminder:

• Focus on Giants—You Stumble.
• Focus on God—Your Giants Tumble.

Are you ready to face your giant? Let David’s story inspire you. The same God who helped him will help you.

Ratings and reviews

A dislike books with a lot of fluff, and this was one of them. One could pull a sentence or two out of each chapter to understand the point that Mr. Lucado was making. But instead, the reader is forced into multiple pages of fluff around the point that is being made. The explanations were not deep and really did not add anything but frustration. I found myself skipping over the long lead-ins, like an Easter egg hunt, to find the one nugget each chapter held.

I felt like a child who dropped their ice cream, when I realised I am reading the last chapter. Excellent. I have been hoping to find a book like this for so long. Thank you Max Lucado for one of the biggest treasures in my life.

A book worth being treasured as one of the wonder gems in our personal libraries. Amazing thoughts wonderfully sequenced and beautifully placed in sentences that touches one's soul. Simply - "A NEATLY WRITTEN BOOK FOR A WONDERFUL REFERENCE"
