Overview
"Everyone, either young or old, appreciates an interesting story, especially if the story is true. A Man of Valor by Arthur W. Spalding is a fascinating retelling of the story of Jonathan, son of King Saul. Whether Jonathan and his armor bearer are scrambling up the Philistine entrenchment and putting their army to flight or rushing on with the hosts of Israel at Gilboa, the author makes the reader feel a part of every scene. The imagination put into the portrayal of the manners, customs, and ceremonies of ancient Israel makes them seem no longer an ancient people but a part of our present-day civilization, and we turn with renewed interest to the Old Testament. Of Jonathan, his best friend, David said, ""Thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women."" Jonathan is the hero of this story and his noble actions and David's reciprocal care illustrate what it means to be a true friend and a man of valor."
