Did King David Exist? Was he a real person? Some scholars have said “No,” he was just a heroic Jewish myth. That’s the topic for the fifth video on the Age of the Kingdom Series YouTube Channel. You can watch it below.

I’ve been thinking about starting a YouTube Channel for a while, and I finally pulled the trigger.
It’s https://youtube.com/@AgeOfTheKingdomSeries. It’s obviously about my biblical historical fiction series, Age of the Kingdom. The first episode is titled “Are Old Testament Stories History or Myth?” It’s basically an introduction to the channel, plus reading a little from Quest for a King, the first novel in the series.
Subsequent episodes will be video from my recent book signing titled “Reading from the Age of the Kingdom novels” and “5 Things You Should Know Before Reading the Bible.”
Future episodes will deal with my research in writing these books, problems with writing fiction based on 3,000-year-old stories and more.
I hope you’ll consider liking my videos and subscribing to my channel!

I’m excited to let you know I’m going to be one of the featured local authors at Kona Stories bookstore at the monthly “Words & Wine” event on Tuesday, August 6, at 6 pm. I’ll be talking about and reading from “Quest for a King” and “Exile of the King.”
Kona Stories has been doing monthly, local-author book signings for many years. I did one in 2018, when I was able to talk about my “Backlash” series.
Kona Stories is located in Keauhou Shopping Center. If you are local on Hawaii Island, come by and say “hi”!

I recently posted some background on my research for the books in the Age of the Kingdom series, but recently I’ve found a great new source that I wanted to talk about here.
In a piece of timing that was more than coincidence, in my opinion, I discovered the Armstrong Institute of Biblical Archeology (AIBA). They are having an especially good deal on membership right now and I took advantage of it. Imagine my delight when the first issue of the organization’s publication Let The Stones Speak arrived and the topic was “David and Solomon’s Monumental Kingdom”!
The first presidential debate was this past Thursday. 51 million people watched. For some, it was a revelation. It revealed, not just how much worse President Biden’s cognitive decline has gotten, but also how much we had been lied to by his campaign, his administration and the “main-stream” media.
Just days before the debate, we were told in no uncertain terms that the videos we saw of Biden having to be guided back to his mark or off stages was right-wing “cheap fakes” and the president was as sharp as a tack in private. It was apparently only in public where he reminded everyone who has an older parent or grandparent of when they had to take away the car keys.

This article was suggested by my wife and I agreed it was a good idea. You see, Donald Trump was not my first choice for the Republican nomination for president in 2016 and he wasn’t in 2024, but it quickly became obvious that he would be the nominee during both primary seasons.
I was never a “Never Trumper” mind you; I just saw good options in other candidates. But now that he is the presumptive nominee, I am supporting him. Even after the efforts of the Democrats to sully him through impeachments, investigations and legal smears, I still support him; in fact the “lawfare” being waged against him makes me want to vote for him even more. I don’t think I’m alone in that. Here’s my reasoning.

The story of David and Goliath is an iconic underdog story and “David and Goliath” is applied as a catch-phrase every time there is an underdog pitted against a gargantuan foe.
But how well do we know the story in the context of the stories on either side of it? Did you know that there’s a problem with the story that some skeptics have used to inspire doubt in the Bible?
It has to do with the question: Did King Saul know David BEFORE he killed Goliath?
