David and the Philistine Woman
Nara is a young Philistine woman who has given up hope of ever finding a husband. No man will take a wife who towers head and shoulders above him. She lives in isolation with her father, until she is discovered by the Philistine priests. They betroth her to Goliath, to give him warrior sons. What happens when Nara’s fate collides with that of David, who is destined to face Goliath in combat, will forever transform how you experience this pivotal moment in the Bible... Boorstin reimagines David’s dangerous path from shepherd to charismatic leader, interweaving his life not only with Nara’s, but with key Biblical characters including King Saul, and Saul’s daughter Michal, who will later become David’s wife. While faithful to the spirit of the Bible, Boorstin reads between the lines of the ancient narrative to bring immediacy, relevance and even greater meaning to the life of the young Israelite who would become the most beloved character in the Old Testament. David and the Philistine Woman combines exciting storytelling and rich characters to fashion an unforgettable epic.

The Seekers
In his previous bestsellers, The Discoverers and The Creators, Daniel Boorstin first told brilliantly how we discovered the reality of our world, and then he celebrated man's achievements in the arts. He now turns to the great figures in history who sought meaning and purpose in our existence. Boorstin claims our Western culture has seen three epics of Seeking. First we had the heroic way of the prophets and philosophers - men like Moses and Job, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle as well as the communities of the early church universities and the Protestant Reformation - seeking salvation or truth from the god above or the reason within each one of us. Then came the age of communal seeking with Thucydides, Thomas More, Machiavelli and Voltaire pursuing civilization and the liberal spirit. Finally there was the age of the social sciences when men seemed ruled by the forces of history. Here are the absorbing stories of exceptional men such as Marx, Spengler, Toynbee, Carlyle, Emerson, Malraux, Bergson and Einstein. A wonderfully stimulating book bursting with anecdotes and information relating to the eternal questions that have preoccupied the thinking human since the beginning of time.
