Due to recent events in Ukraine, yet another war weighs heavily on everyone's mind today. Russia is reminiscent of the Philistine attempt to eradicate the weaker fledging Israel. Who cannot envision Vladimir Putin as the all-powerful giant Goliath menacing the young boy David in the modern guise of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, attempting to shepherd his valiant nation with a sling of borrowed javelin and stinger missiles against a more powerful foe determined on his destruction? We have lived through more bloody conflicts than we care to remember in the countless centuries since man cast the first stone in anger. The motives for going to war seem endless. However, the justification for going into battle today and the reasons behind those actions align with the age-old call to slip the dogs of war and cry havoc that impacts both the innocent and guilty alike. Even in Biblical times, the human failings of lusting after power, property, and prestige remain the sparks that ignite the human holocaust and invite the deadly four horsemen of the apocalypse to begin their deadly ride of mayhem and carnage.
David is every man’s man, an outlaw prophet, a man of war, and a man of God. He is a ruthless warrior, an ardent lover, skilled musician, and poet-philosopher. God sees in him the heart of a lion, the tenacity of a bear, and an ever-faithful man of action. Thus, God calls an unlikely and lowly shepherd boy to become the king of the Jews and fighting prince of Israel.
David overcomes all odds in escaping every snare, evading every trap, and learns from every encounter, growing in understanding and effectiveness in the love of his Creator. He protects, defends, and enlarges the stakes of Zion, the resting place of God’s chosen people. David reaches the pinnacle of all worldly success. He marries the love of his life and is the master of all that he surveys, even surpassing his imagination. Witness the steamy twofold seduction of Bathsheba, a married woman, and her soul mate, the insatiable romantic David, her king, her equal, and her indomitable lover.
Readers will relish this incredible enchanting historical fiction. Experience the heart-pounding narrow escapes from the vengeful King Saul, be a party to the kidnapping of David’s two wives and his ferocious battle against the shapeshifting Amalekites, be present as he wins them back and, in doing so, captures a vast treasure trove of flocks, herds, and gold that helps to secure his two kingdoms. Readers will join the battle at Mount Gilboa. Witness the destruction of Saul and his sons foretold by the witch of Endor, celebrate the fall of the city of waters and the last puzzle piece needed to establish the empire of Israel, look down from the high walls of Rabbah and learn of the required destruction of Uriah the Hittite. Then stand invited to the marriage ceremony of David and his soulmate Bathsheba, the future mother of King Solomon, the future monarch of Israel.
The new book is available on Amazon in e-Book, paperback, hardcover, and soon an audio edition. The eBook will be available at no charge on Amazon from April 4 through April 6, 2022.
Bringing Biblical characters and events to life, adding vibrancy to ancient stories and historical personalities with odd-sounding names, living in odd-sounding places is the unique talent Ganci brings to his Christian fiction novels.
Ganci takes a ground-breaking and revelatory path in his quest to bring the awe-inspiring stories to life and ultimately to film. He believes that connecting facts are far more enchanting than loosely fitting fantasies. He works within an engaging and dramatized fiction framework that remains faithful to upholding spiritual principles while exceedingly rich in detail.
Ganci bases his work on three primary pillars:
* The rock-solid cornerstone is historical biblical geography.
* The creative arch is revelatory in its timing and issues.
* The research is concrete, firmly rooted in customs, languages, and traditions.
Ganci fills in the blanks with rock-solid research and prophetic revelations. It is a style that has allowed him to create breakthrough approaches that are exciting and breathtaking while remaining within the limits of sound biblical teachings.
Ganci is also the creator of 'Incredible Bible Mysteries,' a five-part video series now available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK0Op2dYhMXtz7nh2D__keQ.
Ganci believes that Old Testament revelations are the Word of God. Simultaneously, many needful details remained buried until the information age of discovery made them prominent and visible to the naked eye. These insights create a middle ground of understanding. As a dedicated and highly motivated researcher, he proposes many undiscovered nuggets of spiritual gold in the original manuscripts. He shines a new light on ancient texts and removes the black or white argument of the all-or-nothing question of modern-day revelations. He is adept at untangling the philosophical and theological human-made knots. He allows us to take a fresh look at what some consider to be foregone conclusions.
Readers of his bestseller, 'Gideon, The Sound and the Glory' will learn about the Jewish Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, the mysterious Golden Ephod, why David found himself at battle with Goliath, and much, much more. This work illuminates the dark corners of scripture while engaging readers in a gripping narrative.
