5 Stars
Reviewed by Essien Asian for Readers' Favorite
In Second David: Trials and Tribulations, Joseph Ganci masterfully blends historical narrative with captivating facts to create an engrossing read. This gives us a much more credible picture of David than we would have from any other source. Ganci's storytelling style highlights the attention to detail that fills in the gaps in the story concerning questions readers might have about David's failings. Second David: Trials And Tribulations is one book historical fiction buffs will enjoy.

Joseph made his arrival at Beth-El Hospital, or ‘The House of God’ found in Brooklyn. Joseph is a firstborn, and so, is dedicated to God by the laws of Israel. He is the son of a Joseph and a loving mother named Rosemary. He is a Levite and a high priest and remains a passionate Italian.

He came to age, racing across the Robert Moses Causeway to the outer banks of Fire Island. Joseph was most at home in the frigid chill of the wild North Atlantic.

Joseph accepted the call from Lyndon B. Johnson and was ordered to report for combat in the Vietnam conflict. Man-to-man combat is where he had experienced a baptism by fire and had been chastened by the struggle.

The G.I. Bill provided him with a seat at the coveted Honor Society’s banquet table of higher education.

Joseph lives alone in the Lone Star state. Joseph fathered five daughters, three of whom are still alive. He has five grandchildren that are the gems found in an old man's crown.

The Bible to him is like reading the Daily News as it is vivid and alive and provides deep wells of knowledge and practical applications of simple understandings.

Moreover, this is where the grist from this novel finds common ground through his endless rounds of scripture study. The laborer is worthy of his hire, and a loving God opened the eyes of his understanding.

Lest we forget, a thousand years hence - the anthropologists will conclude that our society communed with an all-knowing oracle named Google.

    Joseph Ganci has a knack for making the esoteric come alive, and this is another great example of his excellent talent.

    The title <Second David> is an obvious play upon the Old Testament book titles of 1&2 Samuel, 1&2 Kings, etc. It tells the "continuing story" of David's life after his battles with Goliath, his sojourn with the Philistines, the death of King Saul and the fruit of his infidelity with Bathsheba. The <Trials and Tribulations> part deals with David's official ascension to King of Israel, and his struggles to maintain the Empire of Israel that is beset with problems from the outside and inside.

    The author's deep scholarship and engaging approach to the subject matter makes it so that he can tell the epic tell David in a way that "fills in the gaps." We know many parts of the scriptural account, to be sure, but the culture, geography, customs, religious practices and languages that surround the scriptural account are three thousand years removed. Mr. Ganci brings all that fully present, giving us a tale that is fully enjoyable and gripping and informative as we explore the last half of the life of the greatest king of Israel.

    YES, this is a great read. Enjoy it!
