Choices of the Chosen (Slightly Imperfect)

Endorsements:          

Sometimes the best lessons are learned from a good example. In Choices of the Chosen, Marty Berglund, Glenn Kanter and Nick Simpson have lifted examples from the life of King David of Israel—a man after God’s heart—and organized them in bite-sized and believable portions. Following the course of a disciple from hearing the call of God through temptation and failure to enduring the most difficult challenges, David’s life illustrates the real life of a believer. Every chapter includes a lesson and application—prayer to live out the timeless truth of Scripture. This book is a practical guide for all who wish to live a godly life in our turbulent world.

Called “a man after God’s own heart,” King David is arguably one of the most well-known characters of the Bible.  His success, amazing feats, faith in God, willingness to obey and even face his failures, seems beyond the possibility for us. Marty, however, brilliantly portrays David in a way that makes you feel like he is no different than you or me!  The point being that we too can be men and women “after God’s own heart.”

Choices of the Chosen illuminates the life choices of David, “a man after God’s own heart.” In this study, we learn from David’s good and bad decisions how imperfect people can make life choices that please God and bless us. Marty Berglund, Glenn Kantner, and Nick Simpson give us an honest, personal understanding of what it means to choose to live for God.in the real world of the 21st Century.”

Marty has been a great friend to me over the years and an even better voice of reason. HIS realness, along with his gentleness and compassion, has taught me patience and humbleness in my own life. I can think of no one more gifted than Marty to write a book about King David; he too is a man who has lived his life seeking God’s own heart in everything he does. From the initial response of the Lord’s call on his own life, to persevering beyond the attacks from the enemy, Marty has always chosen to trust in the Lord and obey. He chooses to stay focused on the Lord Most High, rather than the obstacles he or the church faces. Marty has always been a servant of Christ who looks at what’s right in the eyes of the Lord rather than the eyes of the people. He never loses sight of the truth. He is a visionary who does not see success, but one who seeks only the will of Christ. Marty’s words and thoughts can only help others draw nearer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
