REAL MEN CHALLENGE MEN TO BECOME MEN!!! THIS BOOK SHOWS YOU HOW

Fantastic and amazing!!! I had done some slipping to be truthfully honest with my current girlfriend and he informed me to take a step back and check out a book. I did within a week I was completed and I am on my second turn of reading the book. I have become stronger as a Man of God with this book and able to continue in my relationship with my girlfriend as a true Man of God and not a replica. This book has fulfilled me day by day as I make small changes in my life. You will enjoy this book chapter after chapter. I would highly recommend all men to read the book.

A good author's perspective

I have just finished reading it but i think i have to go back again and start. I find it very practical and helpful in how men ought to act in order to avoid the pitfalls Samson had. It is a work where you can get rich advices and warnings. I have yet to hear others preach about Samson the way the author practically did it.

A thoroughly "user friendly" self-help book for Christians

The Samson Syndrome by Mark Atteberry (Minister at Poinciana Christian Church) is a thoroughly "user friendly" self-help book for Christians (especially Christian Men), concerning the lessons that can be learned from the Strongest Man of Biblical Old Testament lore. Cautioning against errors common to the strong (including the tendency to use anger as a tool, take too much for granted, or lose sight of the big picture), The Samson Syndrome is profound in both its universally applicable advice and in its encouragement of a Christian faith in God.
