Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - He was the strongest man who ever lived. He was also the most broken.Samson tore a lion apart with his bare hands and toppled a temple with his last breath - yet he could not master his own appetites, could not keep a vow, could not walk away from the wrong woman. Here is the Old Testament's most honest portrait of what it looks like when God chooses someone He does not fix.The Spirit of the LORD rushed upon Samson, and the strength was never his own. The failure was entirely his. Between those two truths lies the whole tragedy - and the whole grace. This is not a book about a formula for strength or a hero to imitate. It is a theology of the God who keeps His hand on a man long after that man has stopped keeping his hand on God.Then, in a Philistine grinding house, in the dark, unobserved and unasked - But the hair of his head began to grow again.Rev. Dr. Billy J. Hill reads every scene of Judges 13-16 as a window into divine character: the God who empowers without approving, who does not abandon what He will not excuse, and whose consecration reaches deeper than a length of hair. Written for the academy, the pulpit, and the pew at once, this is the man beneath the strength and the shadow - and the God whose grace was already growing back before the prisoner ever prayed.A special word for preachers and servants of God. At the heart of the book stands a pastoral insert - Before You Read the Women - written directly to those who stand behind sacred desks. It confronts the terror of 1 Corinthians 9:27, the preacher who proclaims to others and is himself disqualified (adokimos), and the loneliness that strength cannot defeat. Every teacher of the Word who has ever feared the gap between the gift and the life will find themselves named on these pages - and will find grace there too.'Remember me, O Lord God.' It was Samson's only prayer. God answered it anyway.…
