Perfect for individuals, leadership teams, and small groups, you'll discover timeless wisdom valuable for leaders today, tomorrow, and beyond.


Dr. Eddie Estep has given us a useful, well-written, and insightful review of the influencers in the life of David, Israel’s king. This is a very good book with a fresh approach. I highly recommend it!

Dr. Estep’s great insight into leadership is that leading is fundamentally about relationships. Whether in ancient Israel or modern America, in an air-conditioned conference room or the grim of the battlefield, people respond to leaders with whom they connect as human beings. Who’s Got Your Back? uses the iconic figure of David to demonstrate that relationships are at the very core of David’s great successes. Whether you lead a church board or a combat formation, David’s leadership bears careful consideration.

These lessons could be used for staff meetings, small groups, men’s discipleship, or personal growth. It is my privilege to recommend to everyone who...seeks to develop authentic, biblical leadership skills.

A valuable resource for leaders that should be on the shelf of every pastor desiring to meet the important challenge of discipling and raising up leaders. This book will become a regular part of the resources we use to train and equip leaders around the world.
