Bible Mystic: 1 Samuel

For the long gap between knowing who you are and your life confirming it.

• David gets the oil years before the crown, and everything in between is the proving ground.
• This book maps the wilderness between calling and crowning: Hannah's open hands, Saul's partial surrender, Goliath falling in a minute after taunting for forty days.
• The kingdom gets built in the cave, not the palace.
