Five Stones
What if the story of David and Goliath was not true? A retelling of the classic tale.By J Daniel Gourdine
Length43m
About this audiobook
What if the most famous battle in history was never meant to be a battle at all?
Before the valley. Before the armies. Before the stone that changed everything — David and Goliath were friends. One small. One impossibly large. Both alone. And now standing on opposite sides of a war neither of them chose.
They have a plan. Five smooth stones, and a way through.
The plan does not survive the valley.
A short, spare reimagining of the biblical story that asks: what if everything you thought you knew was wrong?
