The children of Israel lived in fear of evil commander Sisera and the Canaanite army. Every day, the army stole their food and abused the people.
Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Deborah to deliver Israel. She sent word to Barak to lead the Israelite army in battle against the Canaanites. But Barak was afraid.
“If you will go with me, then I will go,” he said. “But if you do not go, I will not go.
“I’ll go with you,” Deborah said. “But the victory will not lead to your glory. It will be given to a woman.
In Deborah, Phyllis Stevens retells the story of the courageous judge, prophetess, and military commander. You’ll discover

Samson: God’s Rebellious champion
Even before Samson was born, God set him apart as a Nazirite for a special purpose—to deliver the children of Israel from the Philistines. Samson took the Nazirite vows, including to never cut his hair.
Samson’s super-human strength was known throughout the land, and his long hair was a symbol of God’s promise. But his weaknesses made him break his vows, ignore God’s law, and do what was right in his own eyes. Samson had to learn the hard way that only the strength of God Himself could accomplish Samson’s purpose.
Watch as Samson
- kills a lion with his bare hands
- loses his strength when Delilah cuts off his hair
- finally obeys God and accomplishes His purpose
True power comes not from human physical strength but God’s strength alone.
