Summary of Max Lucado's They Walked with God

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 The war has been extremely harsh on Ernest Gordon.

He was captured by the Japanese in World War II, and spent months in the jungle working with them.

When he was transferred to a prisoner-of-war camp, he was happy to die there.

But two new prisoners came who helped him recover his strength.#2 The code of the jungle is alive and well in every man for himself.

The diamond glitters in the mud every so often, but for the most part, it's mud.#3 The story of Abigail and David is a great example of how beauty can overcome barbarism.

When Abigail, the wife of Nabal, went out to meet David's army, she was armed with food and wine, which she offered to them.

She then begged David to forgive her and avoid the dead weight of remorse.#4 Abigail teaches us the power of kindness.

She shows us that when we place ourselves between two people, we can stop conflict from occurring.

Christ did this when he stood in between God and humanity, taking the punishment that was destined for us all.
