A Tale of Three Kings Review

A Tale of Three Kings Review –

A Tale of Three Kings by Gene Edwards is a worthwhile listen for anyone in church leadership. This dramatic retelling of the stories of Saul, David, and Absalom should give all leaders pause to think about what kind of leader they are and how to approach leadership.

However, I do not recommend this book for the average Christian. The book seems to advocate that regardless of what our leaders do or how far they stray from God’s will, we should simply submit to them because we never know how God is using them. The book does not take into account the goft of discernment that God gives us or our responsibility as Christians to lovingly hold one another accountable.

The style of the book was very easy to listen to and helps the listener to see the drama unfold. The narrator did a wonderful job and makes the many varied voices in the book come to live. Thanks to the christianaudio Reviewers Program (http://christianaudio.com) for providing the opportunity to listen to and review this book.
