Overview

A man slain by a tent peg; a superman dispatching his enemies with the jawbone of a donkey; yet another man carving up a woman. It is all in the book of Judges, and it is all covered by Simon J. Robinson, who leads us through the book, opening it up and applying it powerfully and relevantly to readers today.

“There will often be times when God strips away the things or the people we lean on and brings us into situations in which we become very aware of our weaknesses. This makes us more dependent upon him and provides greater potential to glorify him.” (Pages 43–44)

“He was the weakest man, from the lowest family, of the smallest clan in the least significant tribe. But he was God’s man and he was given the same promise that been given to Moses (see Exod. 3:12) and Joshua (see Josh. 1:5): ‘I will be with you’ (v. 16).” (Page 36)

“God knows when we need encouragement and sometimes he will use the most unlikely people to bring it to us.” (Page 44)

“God was using Samson in spite of his failings, not because of his faithfulness.” (Page 84)
