Veteran educator, preacher, and first-time author Ronnie Kidd<\/strong> invites readers on a transformative spiritual journey in his new book, Stand Up…Face Up…Look Up… <\/a>(Lessons from David, a Man after God’s Own Heart)<\/em>. Through an in-depth exploration of King David’s life, Kidd reveals nearly one hundred practical lessons that demonstrate why God described David as “a man after His own heart” (Acts 13:22).<\/p>\n

While many know David as the young shepherd who defeated Goliath or as the king who fell into sin with Bathsheba, Kidd encourages readers to look beyond these familiar stories. Drawing meaningful parallels between David’s life and New Testament teachings, the book offers practical guidance for modern Christians seeking to deepen their faith and strengthen their walk with God.<\/p>\n

“Stand up to your giants, face up to your mistakes, and look up to your God.” This powerful message forms the heart of the book, reminding readers that God’s grace, forgiveness, and purpose remain available to all who faithfully seek Him.<\/p>\n

The inspiration for the book grew from Kidd’s lifelong passion for teaching and biblical study. Originally intended as a series of adult Bible class lessons, years of careful research uncovered 97 lessons from David’s life that demonstrate how believers today can live as men and women after God’s own heart.<\/p>\n

Ronnie Kidd brings decades of teaching and ministry experience to his writing. A graduate of David Lipscomb College with a Bachelor of Arts in English, he spent 38 years teaching in Kentucky and Tennessee public schools while also serving in human resources and safety management during portions of his career. Beyond education, Kidd has faithfully served as a Christian, preacher, teacher, musician, husband, and family man. Although retired from the classroom, he continues to share biblical wisdom through teaching and now through authorship.<\/p>\n

Stand Up…Face Up…Look Up…<\/a> is an excellent resource for individual devotional study, church Bible classes, small groups, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of biblical principles for everyday living.<\/p>\n
