"A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

'100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies' takes a selection of 100 Bible prophecies and walks the reader through a clear and concise explanation of how these prophecies have been fulfilled. These prophecies foretold a series of events involving the destruction and restoration of ancient Israel, as well as the rise and demise of the great ancient kingdoms of Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. Other prophecies foretold the birth, life, death and resurrection of the Messiah, who would reconcile mankind with God, and offer eternal life to believers in the Kingdom of God. These prophecies foretold that the Messiah would be an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, that he would be a descendant of King David, that he would be born in Bethlehem, that he would be mortal and die, and yet be eternal, and have a worldwide spiritual impact. These prophecies find fulfillment in Jesus Christ, and in him alone. More than 100 million books have been written throughout the world since the dawn of recorded history, according to an estimate published in 2010. Of those books, one stands alone in how uniquely and strongly it is associated with prophecy, and that book is the Bible.'100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies' seeks to explain to the reader why the Bible is uniquely held in this regard.

From award-winning comedian, director, writer, and producer David Steinberg comes the totally original, utterly blasphemous, and hysterically funny memoir of a young man who emerged from a traditional Jewish childhood to become an international star—all because, it seems, he kept God in stitches. David Steinberg was raised in Winnipeg, Canada, by parents who expected little from him. And no wonder. Instead of studying Talmud in order to become a rabbi, he chose to major in Martin and Lewis with a minor in basketball. As David imagines the story of his life (since his success otherwise makes no sense), God one day spotted him on the playground and decided that this young man with no ambition could go far with His help. Sure enough, God soon had David on network TV and Broadway, and selling out nightclubs across the country—as well as being pursued by hot starlets. The Book of David is David Steinberg's hilarious trip down memory lane, assuming that the lane has a biblical address. This wild riff on the Old Testament is guaranteed laughter.

Everett Fox's translation of the biblical books from Genesis through Deuteronomy has been widely acclaimed as a scholarly, religious, and literary masterpiece. Praising its unique and authoritative approach, the "New York Times Book Review said, "It makes it possible for us to take up the Scripture as if we had never seen it before." In Give Us a King! Fox turns to the two books of Samuel, which contain some of the Bible's most famous stories and most unforgettable personalities: the barren Hannah, who will be mother to the prophet Samuel; the tragic King Saul; Bathsheba, the object of King David's illicit desire and the future mother of King Solomon; and King David himself, the romantic hero who becomes a legendary but morally compromised monarch. Accompanied by illuminating commentary and notes, Fox's masterful translation re-creates the echoes, allusions, alliterations, and wordplays of the Hebrew original, so that the reader is finally able to experience in English the full power of the ancient saga of the original once and future king.
