From the publisher

A graphic novel of epic proportions ... In this first book of the Son of Samson series, Branan has inherited his father's strength, but he has no idea why. In hopes of understanding God's plan, he travels back to Israel to trace the deeds of the father he never knew--and finds himself in the crosshairs of a Philistine captain in the process.

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

From the rear cover

There's Nothing Like a Jawbone---or Melons and Tree Trunks---When It Comes to a Fight! When things get physical, Branan uses any weapon he can grab---just like his father, Samson. And like his dad, he can wield weapons other men can't even lift. Trouble is, he's not sure why God gave him such great power or what he's supposed to do with it. Trying to understand his father---and himself---Branan travels to the places where Samson did his amazing deeds. Along the way he performs some incredible heroics of his own, stirring up the anger of his dad's old enemies.
