Before he was born, an angel declared that this little boy would deliver his people. But Samson grew up among ordinary struggles, yet hidden within him lay a bold gift: supernatural strength. As he faces danger, battles enemies, and even confronts betrayal, Samson must learn what it really means to trust God.
From slaying lions to resisting the lure of false love, Samson’s story reminds us that true strength isn’t in the muscles — it’s in the heart. Children will cheer as he triumphs, feel sorrow when he falters, and hope when he prays for one final act of courage.
Retold with warmth, drama, and spiritual insight, Samson: The Strong Man’s Strength invites young readers into an ancient tale of power, responsibility, and redemption.
