The Stones is hot-blooded drama
—a biblical novel that takes in the sweep of King David’s life from his encounter with Goliath to the devastating consequences of counting his fighting men. He is a man of titanic proportions, at once commanding, poetic, earthy, in touch with God.


Fictional in scope, yet with intentional scriptural accuracy, The Stones provides a revealing behind-the-scenes glimpse into biblical history with all the twists, turns, thrills, and romance of one of the world’s greatest dramas.


In the story, stones themselves serve as a metaphor that fits well with the contours of David’s life: stones of learning, of victory, of stumbling, of humbling, of hardship, of grief, of sacrifice.


The Stones is an epic adventure of man’s innate need to worship God and to rely on him for strength—and how badly things can go when he fails to do so.
