Samson by Jacquelin Thomas
APOOO Rating: 4.5
Amazon Rating: 5
Charmingly handsome, Samson Taylor is trying to control his unhealthy desire for women in SAMSON by Jacquelin Thomas. He has just become the assistant pastor to his uncle’s church. He wants nothing more than to live up to his aunt and uncle’s expectations and be that man of God he has been called to be. But the temptation of women is so strong, Samson allows it to ruin his marriage, his relationship with his best friend, and ultimately his career in the pulpit.
Trying to get his life together after all of the deception and lies, Samson takes a sabbatical. It is short lived when there is an emergency at the church and he is called back home. Samson is determined to turn his life around and truly live for Christ. All is well until he meets Delinda who is an unhappily married to a basketball player. Samson’s old self resurfaces and he once again finds himself intertwined in a web of deception. After a confrontation with Delilah’s husband, Samson is left to deal with where his action have led him. Will he be able to forgive himself and finally walk in the light Christ has called him to?
Thomas carefully crafts a new-age story of Samson and Delilah. She places this story in modern times and it is totally relevant. She has lessons, bible verses, and snippets of sermons, but the book does not come off as preachy. I love how the story captures you from the the very beginning. I highly recommend this book.
