Samuel

Description

Through the pages of this book, we meet and come to know Samuel. We follow him as God formed and directed his paths, but also learn how God’s purposes played out in the life of a godly but sometimes stumbling leader and believer. The title – A Gift Returned – tells us that the following pages say much about his mother, Hannah, who lived a faith-shaped life. But we also encounter and come to understand his father, Elkanah, Eli, Peninah, Saul and others, including a nameless young man, all of whom play significant roles as they cross the pages. By endeavouring to get to know the people we meet, we will learn much from them, by way of both encouragement and caution.
