For the first time in my life I found myself enjoying a good book, a teacher&#8217;s lecture at school, and independent study alone in my room in the evenings.

		<description><![CDATA[By David Bennett I grew up participating with &#8220;Youth Sunday,&#8221; a day for youth to take leadership in the church. So when I became a youth minister I decided to bring what I remembered to be a positive experience with me.

And once again I am struck by how he handled King Saul, a man driven toward murder by his own jealousy and anger.
