Iraq Veteran Charles Dause Writes Book about Battles Fought by Old Testament Biblical Figure King David
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) March 08, 2016 -- Former U.S. Marine, Charles Dause, has written a book, The King: Ruler of Israel, which brings to life the triumphs and tragedies of Old Testament hero David as he battles to become the King of Israel. The Bible-based story is historical fiction written for those who may or may not know the Bible story of the shepherd boy who becomes King David. The author, deployed twice to Iraq in 2003 and 2004, is familiar with war in the Middle East and brings characters to life in a way to make readers feel like they are cowered in caves and marching through deserts with David as he fights for 20 years to claim the crown he was promised.
Author and former Marine Corporal (E-4) Charles Dause says, “I came home from Iraq, had no purpose and little drive to find one. I became a correctional officer, simply because I needed a job. After several years working there, I went on a mission trip to Uganda in Africa which changed my life.” Dause is now on a mission to cultivate interest in Bible stories and educate readers of the power of faith in God. He explains, “The hardships, oppression and betrayals that David faced are much like the challenges many of us have felt in our own lives. Just by seeing the way David endured incredible tragedies, and still managed to obey and trust God, has helped me and, I think, will give others encouragement, too.”
Dause, now a prison chaplain in Zephyrhills Florida and working on a master’s degree in theology at Liberty University, also writes a blog: http://www.AMansTakeOnTheBible.com which tackles contemporary issues. The King: Ruler of Israel is being published by Westbow Press and is available at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
