Is it possible to be hugely blessed by God - and still make a mess of your life?
In this provocative, breathtakingly honest book on the Bible's infamous rascal Samson, Jeff Lucas explores vital principles for living life well, including:
- What is it we all really crave?
- Do good people do bad things?
- What do we do when we're disappointed?
- Are there clear steps towards success - and disaster?
Samson is a controversial figure: some commentators can't forgive his morally-challenged antics while others see a reflection of Christ in parts of his story. Whatever a reader's view, this book sheds new light on Samson's story, Israel's story, God Himself, and a reader's own story, too.
Divided into four smaller sections, each centers around a pivotal part of Samson's life. With great insight and startling clarity, Lucas takes readers up close and personal so they feel as though they are watching Samson's life unfold before their eyes.
Highlighted topics include:
- Propaganda
- Happiness
- "Me"-centeredness
- Eroticism
- Accountability
- Anger
- Disappointment in people
- Satan's schemes
- How disaster eventually strikes
A provocative read, There Are No Strong People ultimately asks its readers to really think, re-evaluate, and dig deeper.
