Complete workbook of the BC Youth Conference, 2018. The workbook is made up of three sections:

  1. An introduction with the background to the times of Samson & Samuel
  2. A study of the birth and life of the character Samson from Judges 13-16
  3. A study of the birth and early life of the character Samuel from 1 Samuel 1-3, along with some brief highlights of his life in 1 Sam. 7 & 12.

Why look at both Samson and Samuel, instead of focusing on just one? As we will identify at the beginning of the workbook, they actually live very close together, even concurrently for part of their lives. Samson’s God-given purpose was to begin the deliverance of Israel from the Philistines, and it was Samuel who completes it. There are also the clear & unique connections to Christ from Samson & Samuel which we will explore in detail, and there must be a reason for that.
