"Gentle, instructive, and engaging, Shadows of the King reminds children (and adults!) how all our hero stories help us long for King Jesus, who will make all things right. I wish I had this book when my own children were younger!" -Ashley Hales, author of A Spacious Life and Finding Holy in the Suburbs

"Shadows of the King brings the stories of 1 + 2 Samuel to life, both in the original horizon of the text and their fulfillment in Christ! I heartily recommend this book to parents who want to help their children see Old Testament narratives in light of God's big story in the Bible." - Walter Shaw, blogger at WTSreads (@wtsreads)

"A powerful retelling of 1&2 Samuel, leaving us wanting more of Jesus, our one true hero. Woven all throughout this masterpiece you will see the good news of the gospel shining in the shadows. The connections will draw kids to a clear understanding of God's presence, place, people, and purpose. A Biblical resource every family needs!" - Jennifer Edewaard, author of Encamp
