THE JAWBONE OF WRATHThe Story of SamsonHe was born of a miracle, but he lived as a weapon. In the parched hills of Israel, a child is consecrated to the Almighty before his first breath.

But in a world gripped by the iron fist of the Philistine empire, power is a dangerous currency. One man against an empire. Samson does not fight with the polished blades of his enemies.
