Discontent: How You Heart’s Desires Betray You

Discontent: How Your Heart’s Desires Betray You offers a new direction for self-discovery learned through the often misunderstood story of Samson—the Bible’s anti-hero, blinded and betrayed by his own heart’s desires—and his undiscerning, unimaginative father, Manoah. Their restless need for adventure and identity offers dramatic proof that discovering who you are can’t be achieved; it must be received.

  • For the last year this kid has trained, often five nights a week. I told him I would never make him, but if he wanted, I would find a way to get him there. His hard work paid off.

  • Just working on a little Bible project.
  • We got it in before the snow comes. Fun day.
