Growing up among the Philistines, Branan was always different—a little bigger, and much stronger, than his friends, and the only kid who worshiped God instead of Dagon. And he carried a big secret: his father was Samson, the man everyone in his country feared. Desperate to understand why God gave him his father’s gifts, Bran travels to Israel … and discovers the Philistines are still terrorizing the people. While traveling to the cities where his father welded a jawbone and carried a massive gate, Bran also comes to the attention of Lord Sidon, who refuses to let another Hebrew warrior threaten Philistine rule. And Bran is determined to do what his father never could: use his strength for good. The Judge of God: - combines biblically accurate information about Samson and ancient Israel with a story arc that follows a boy looking to undo his father’s wrongs - is great for readers 8 and up - contains kid-friendly clean humor and action - will appeal to fans of The Action Bible, comic books, and graphic novels - is perfect for homeschool, church libraries, and kids’ Bible studies as a fun-to-read supplementary resource
