Eugene Peterson’s vibrant, unforgettable exploration of one of the most memorable—and controversial—figures in Scripture: King David.

The David story is the most extensively narrated single story in the Bible, and the Old Testaments reveals him both at his best and his worst. He is known as a shepherd, a psalmist, a fugitive, a war hero, a murderer, and a king whose legacy is marked by victories and moral failings alike. Peterson’s multi-dimensional portrait of this “man after God’s own heart” studies David’s humanity and examines his key relationships such as those with Saul, Goliath, Jonathan, Bathsheba, and Absolom. Uncompromisingly honest and remarkably insightful, Leap Over a Wall offers the hope that every event in David’s life was a confrontation with God, just as our every experience can hold divine encounter.

A vision brought to life by one of the world’s most respected and influential theologians, the author of The Pastor, The Jesus Way, Practice Resurrection, and The Message, Leap Over a Wall is a unique opportunity to reconnect with David, a man simultaneously admirable, soulful, and dark, and one of the most complex and vital characters of the greatest story ever written.

Ideal for personal devotional use, Bible study, or small group study.

This book was a deep well of insight, encouragement, and wisdom. Leap Over A Wall brought the life of David to life in a fresh, thoughtful, and deeply human way. Eugene Peterson’s writing is rich and pastoral—offering more than just biblical commentary; it’s soul care in every chapter.

The narrator was exceptional—warm, engaging, and perfectly matched to the tone of the book. His voice brought the words to life in a way that made it hard to press pause. It won’t be the last time I listen to this. In fact, I plan to revisit it again and again.

I’m already looking for more books by both the author and the narrator. Highly recommended.

Exceptional!!!
