They are first seen as individuals rising in their respective careers. As time passes, their lives more frequently interact and become interwined with each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJ. Carl Laney covers these two books section by section, often pausing to clear up a difficult passage that would mean trouble to the reader. This volume is complete with many maps that prove to be an invaluable aid to the reader in helping him to plot out where the action of a particular chapter is taking place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Laney helps the reader to understand the anguish and agony David experienced as a result of the division of his household and the rebellion of his son Absalom. We can see how Saul met his ultimate downfall as king because of his reliance upon outside sources for guidance instead of implicitly trusting in the Lord. One also sees the godly Samuel who, nevertheless, was unable to keep his own household in order. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContemporary lessons are plentiful in these two Bible books and available to those who take the time to study their truths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ.
