Title: Samson and Delilah
Author: Bible – Retold by Marsha Lynn Van Dyke
Illustrations: Marsha Lynn Van Dyke
Audio Sample:
Samson and Delilah is a story of love, deceit, betrayal and forgiveness. I chose to include this story, because I feel like it shows a much more offensive God than we are all used to. It shows a God that is willing to protect his people at all costs. A God who loves us so much that he does not want us living in a world with those who’d rather us be dead than to believe in his holy name. God sent Samson to defeat the enemies of God. Samson’s life was dedicated to the Lord and his strength was his gift. When the mighty Samson is made weak by his enemies he turns to God for strength.
Please enjoy reading this Old Testament story and please tell everyone you know about this story and the other great books on the site.
Thank you,
