Seeking After the Heart of God for 52 Weeks

In this 52-week Bible study—designed to be started at any point in the year—Max Lucado delves into King David's story to discover what it means to chase after God's own heart.

King, shepherd, warrior, poet—King David’s life is a rich tapestry of roles and experiences. He was a man of striking contradictions, known both for his extraordinary faith and his profound failures. Yet in spite of his turbulent life, he was regarded as a man after God’s own heart. But what does that truly mean for us today?

In Seeking After the Heart of God for 52 Weeks, Max Lucado invites you on a year-long journey through David’s remarkable story. Walk with David through seasons of triumph and times of brokenness. Discover how his courage in crisis, his prayerful and worshipful dependence, his honesty, his repentance after failure, and his steadfast obedience shaped a heart that continually sought God above all else.
