So many times it is so easy for us to get distracted from our purpose as servants in the Church. It's easy to begin to gossip or even begin to divide the congregation on issues that arise. A Tale of Three Kings covers many issues that most Christians will face at one time or another. This book provides insightful suggestions on how to deal with rebellion in the church as a pastor, how to deal with being mistreated by a pastor, how to properly leave a church if the time comes, and most importantly how to remain humble and broken in a position of authority.
Just an excellent book that all Christians should read, especially those in some kind of leadership role in their church.

I was given this book and when I picked it up I couldn't put it down. I felt the presence of the Lord opening up my understanding! This book is simple, yet it tells you something! it explains a simple, yet wonderful new outlook that you will want to make your own, geared not just for those in authority over you, but for every area of your life.

Healing from being Broken
Rating (5)

Since reading this book in 1997, it has become the book I recommend most to people. A Tale of Three Kings brought a new perspective and even healing from being able to release my own bitterness and anger in how I had been treated in a particular situation.
By looking at the Biblical examples of Saul, David, and Absalom this book challenged me to think about who represented my life the best. As I read the book, I of course thought I was a David. Then as I read more and more of the book, I began to see that through my bitterness and anger, I was more of a Saul.
This book confronted me at a very real level in a way in which I saw my own sin. The lessons I learned through this book, have brought me to the point of forgiveness and acceptance of what happened. It brought me to my knees in repentance as well.
This is a must read for anyone who has ever been hurt by fellow believers, or will be hurt by fellow believers (which is pretty much all of us).

This book is fabulous, and is one that my husband and I have passed on over and over again to those in leadership or who are part of a team. It is one of those invaluable books. However, I will not purchase them again through Amazon until Amazon stops selling the book on how to be a pimp. It is healthier for our economy anyway to purchase from small businesses. So 5 stars for the book, no stars for Amazon.
