The Last Great Judge

~The Book of the Last Great Judge~ I Samuel, a book of the Old Testament, which provides the primary source for the history of Israel during the 11th and 10th centuries B.C. The book of Samuel relates the history of the Israelites people from the end of the period of the Judges to the last years of King David’s life and reign. (2 Samuel also) Some scholars believe that Samuel wrote the book, but …

Same with our leadership today, but we all must trust God. ‘“For I know the plans I for you!” said the Lord.’
