About the author
James W. Knox
56 books9 followersJames W. Knox was born February 26, 1958 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He grew up in New Smyrna Beach, Florida where he graduated high school in 1976. Over the next three years he earned degrees in English and journalism from the state university system of Florida, graduating with honors in 1978 and 1979.
He received the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior on December 17, 1976 and began to preach the word of God in November of the following year.
Brother James is the founding pastor of THE BIBLE Baptist Church (1987) of DeLand, Florida, USA. The brothers and sisters in Christ at The BBC prayerfully distribute recorded sermons and Bible studies to 182 countries, with 3 million+ units having been sent out since 1988. In addition to the tape ministry, dozens of book titles in print, many of which are being translated into numerous languages, enable this ministry to be of instruction and encouragement to untold numbers around the world.
We would ask you to remember Brother James with the words of Romans 15:30:
Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me.

An interesting and in-depth Bible study on the Christian's walk with God. I cannot get how so much hands-on instruction can be derived out of a short narrative such as the fall of David in the Bible. This story makes up the first portion of the book.
Examples: Chapter 1 - David would never have looked on Bathsheba if he was where he was supposed to be.
"We have a tendency to view sin only in the positive, the overt, the action. It is difficult for us to think of sin in terms of neutrality or idleness. David did not fall because of something he did, but because of something he did not do.... let us beware we are not lounging on the rooftop while our fellow soldiers are off at war.... should we fall it will be because at a time when as a king we should have been engaged in the battle, we had opted for idleness."
Chapter 2 points out that David began a pattern of disobedience against God's command (on multiplying wives) twenty years before he saw Bathsheba. Perhaps by this time he had learned to silence his conscience.
18 chapters are dedicated to David's fall and restoration. The book also covers Israel in the Wilderness, whom God gives to us as examples to the intent that we should not lust after evil things, and so on.
Other portions include the Golden Calf Affair, Jesus' Teachings on Practical Righteousness, and, my favorite, Sound Doctrine.
"Sound doctrine" is not good theology or a list of beliefs. I won't give a spoiler, but Br James looks at what the Bible actually says sound doctrine is, and it's something these Bible experts might could use a little bit of in their lives.
