Drawing on key biblical narratives from the early part of the dramatic life of King David, Fighter Fugitive King highlights David's flaws, and God’s grace to him as a developing leader. Threaded throughout is the application of biblical theology. Applicable to the workplace and Christian ministry today, younger men and those mentoring men in spiritual leadership, will find it an inspiring and practical read that points to another King, one greater than David. Includes reflection questions at the end of each chapter.

Commendations and Reviews

“There is a leadership crisis in the world today and this book is a passionate appeal to Christian men to be leaders who lead like Jesus seen through the lens of the life of David. It is clear, theological, challenging and hugely practical. I would recommend this as a disciple making tool for older men to disciple a younger generation.”

Guy Miller, Leader of Commission Network of Churches, U.K.

“There are many good Bible teachers around. There are also plenty of people who can give wisdom about leadership. What is much more rare is finding somebody who can genuinely unlock the Bible and apply it spiritually and practically to Christian leadership today. Fraser Keay is one such person! In this book his passion and experience for developing younger leaders shines through, but it shines through the biblical lens of the life of David and then onto Christ. If you want a book full of trendy leadership clichés then this isn’t for you, but if you want to grow as a leader and develop leaders yourself, and want to do so trusting God and relying on Jesus, then read on! I’ve spent much time in my Christian ministry working with younger leaders, and my only criticism of this book is that Fraser didn’t write it 30 years ago – my investment into younger leaders would’ve been so much stronger if he had!”

Rev. Nigel James, pastor in the Elim Pentecostal Church Movement, based in Cardiff, Wales, U.K. and working in the USA with the Awakening Foundation and around the world in various mission partnerships.

“This is a great book showing the life of David in his leadership as a king and as a warrior and how it points to the life if Christ in so many ways. I was encouraged by how this book showed King David’s frailty and our own as well and our deep need for a Savior. This is a perfect book for a group study or a mentorship group. The audiobook was so good! Fraser narrates his book and him being from Scotland brings an extra bit of flavor to the book. Maybe I liked it so much because I’m from the States and we don’t hear Scottish accents too much. Or possibly it felt like William Wallace was narrating this book and I was inspired to “fight the good fight” just by hearing his accent. But either way the book and the audiobook were great!"
