I Serve You Just as My Mother Did Ph.d. La Verne Tolbert

Mothers are challenged with raising godly children in a culture that suppresses the truth about God. Based on Jewish historical narrative, I Serve You Just As My Mother Did provides a model as it explores King David's childhood and the mother who discipled the sweet psalmist of Israel. The dramatic episodes that unfold underscore the power of women to nurture their children to a lifetime of devotion and service to God. Key insights about King David's early family life shed light on his lenient parenting style. Most importantly, we may understand a little more clearly why Jesus is called the son of David.
