Product Description:
Giants. We must face them. Yet, we need not face them alone.
This profound look at the life of David digs deeply into the defeats he suffered, and the victories he won, as he faced the giants in his life. When David focused on God, giants tumbled. But when David focused on giants…he stumbled.
Goliaths still roam in our world. Debt. Disaster. Dialysis. Divorce. Deceit. Disease. Depression. These super-sized challenges swagger and strut into our lives, pilfering our sleep, embezzling our peace and robbing us of our joy. And while these giants try to dominate our lives, we know what to do! We've learned what David learned, and we do what David did. We become God focused. We pick up five stones. We make five decisions. And we take a swing.

This is an extremely well written, uplifting book based on Biblical principals. It explains Christian concepts in a very clear and easily understandable way and is very encouraging and useful for dealing with everyday life. I highly recommend it.

Max is a great writer. I'm sure he is a great pastor, husband, father. This book is well written. The reason I gave it one star is because on page 181 there is a 26 word prayer to becaome a Christian. The problem is that Max doesn't mention repentance. I believe that the bible teaches that without repentance there is no forgiveness of sin. Dietrich Bonhoeffer says that cheap grace is the preaching of salvation without the need for repentance...Tell me what you think of..The Palace Theatre

I think this book is amazing. The life of David was one filled with the good the bad and the ugly. Yet through it all he knew exactly who was guiding him. It is an amazing reminder to me that when my life is not exactly as I pictured or had hoped, I have the ultimate father I can turn to for exactly what I need at that moment. Max Lucado spoke to my heart, he reminded me that Christians are not weak and meak. We are warriors for God we stand against Goliath every day and understand our all powerful God will give us authority when we need it, strength when we are weak and moments to dance and laugh. Thanks for this awesome book. My prayer is peace to anyone who reads this book.

We've all heard the story of David... he's the shepherd boy with a killer sling who becomes the hero of Israel after posting the biggest battle upset of all time. It's a great story for the Sunday School crowd... right up there with Noah's ark and Jonah and the great fish.
Leave it to Max Lucado to take this familiar story and show us how to apply it to our lives today. Just as David faced a seemingly undefeatable opponent in Goliath, we all have giants of our own to battle. Whether they come in the form of depression or addictions or financial difficulties, our personal giants taunt and mock us and make us believe that we have no hope of conquering them no matter what we do. Max reminds us that, while we by ourselves may not be able to defeat them, no giant can stand up to the power of God.
Get the book... read it... see why Max says, "Focus on Giants - You Stumble. Focus on God - Your Giants Tumble."

This book sat on my shelf for months. I received it as a Christmas gift, which I had asked for because I am a huge Max Lucado fan. But I had a few giants I wasn't ready to face and I knew he would motivate me to do so. I wish I had read it sooner. The giants would have fallen months ago.
This is a great book to study individually or in a small group setting. The thing I loved most about studying the life of David in this context was the way Mr.Lucado related his situation to own own. So often as Christians, we walk a life that is "One step forward, two steps back" in our faith. He does an excellent job of reminding us to focus on God so that we might move forward.
Just out of curiosity, I read the posts that rate this book as one star. One of the two posters hadn't even read the book and was clearly not a Christian, and the other faluts him for making references that only American readers might understand. Sorry, but I'm pretty sure that is his target audience. Ignore these posts. Buy this book.
