NCLA Review - The accounts of Samson, Judge of Israel, and his extraordinary strength and faith inspired this graphic, manga-style novel. What if Samson had a son? What if this son inherited Samson’s legendary strength? What if the boy grew up among pagans instead of with the Israelites, but claimed his father’s faith? Branan, the son of Samson is fascinated by the many stories he has heard about the father he has never known. He embarks on a quest throughout Palestine searching out the old cities and people who shared a part of Samson’s triumphs and tragedies. Following in his father’s footsteps, Branan discovers the truth behind the legend as well as himself and his own faith. The remarkable art work by Sergio Cariello truly enhances this novel. The biblical account of Samson intended for children ages 10-14 comes alive for readers of all ages. Other volumes in this series are available from Zondervan. Rating: 3—MF… (meer)
