Meet Samson.

Strength and unwise choices.

Samson: a quiet historically appropriate setting for Strength and unwise choices, with simple understated contextual details; no invented dramatic event

Who was Samson?

Samson was a judge whose story begins with an announcement about his birth. He is remembered for great strength, but Judges also describes impulsive choices, conflict and betrayal. Strength did not make all his actions wise.

Samson's story shows physical power without steady good judgement. Its violent and adult material requires careful selection when reading with children.
