Young Samuel was an answer to prayer for his mother, and a powerful, stand-in-the-gap judge and leader in Israel. From youthful dedication and faithfulness to guiding a misbehaving nation from periodic Judges to fulltime Kings, Samuel's life lessons are as fascinating as they are spiritually instructive.
