Every person in the Bible is a supporting actor in God's story--each revealing who God is and what His will is for human beings both then and now. In these characters, we see a glimpse of ourselves, coming to understand our failings, our potential, and God's purpose through it all.

This third volume of the Characters series begins with Israel's desire to be like the other nations in calling for an earthly king. Through the lives of Saul, David, Solomon, and others, you will see that only God is the true and perfect King. Through both their flaws and victories, the earthly kings of God's people served to reveal the need for the greater King to come. What can you learn from their actions and decisions?
