Delilah

She pressed him daily with her words — and his strength left him. This

Scripture-first guide follows the woman of the Valley of Sorek through

Judges 16:4-21: the eleven hundred pieces of silver, the seven fresh

bowstrings, the new ropes, the seven locks woven into the loom, the

daily pressing that vexed Samson's soul to death, the secret told, the

shaving, the departed Spirit, the bronze shackles and the mill in Gaza —

and the blinded man's last prayer that God still heard. A sober study of

temptation, compromise, and the grieving of the Holy Spirit — and of the

God who restores the repentant. Every chapter points to Jesus Christ, the

greater Deliverer: tempted yet without sin, who never drifted and never

leaves His own. Enticed. Bound. Blinded.
