You are the Man - Power, Predation, and the Truth Behind David and Bathsheba

You Are the Man is a powerful exploration of what happens when someone else's choices change the course of your life. Using the story of Bathsheba as its foundation, the book shifts the spotlight away from famous biblical figures and onto the often-overlooked experiences of those who live with the consequences of power, silence, betrayal, and blame.
Rather than retelling a Bible story, Toseika Thomas invites readers to see how an ancient pattern still appears in modern workplaces, churches, families, relationships, and communities. The book examines what it means to have your voice ignored, your story misunderstood, or your choices limited by someone else's position of power.
Through relatable contemporary examples and thoughtful reflection, readers are encouraged to move beyond survival, reclaim their voice, and recognize that silence is never the whole story. Bathsheba serves as the backbone of the discussion, but the heart of the book belongs to the women and men who see parts of their own experience reflected in her journey.
Ultimately, You Are the Man is not a book about staying a victim. It is a book about understanding what happened, finding language for experiences that are difficult to describe, and discovering that your story does not end where someone else's choices began.
