About the Book

Samson: A Calling Wasted is not your grandmother's Bible story. In this visceral, brutally honest reimagining, D. Michael Gross rips the myth from its Sunday school wrappings and lays bare the psychological wreckage behind the legend. Set in the mud-soaked trenches of ancient Israel-a nation paralyzed by fear, cynicism, and spiritual sclerosis-this book drags the reader through every gut punch of a life marked by promise and haunted by self-destruction. Samson is born to a barren mother, consecrated by a Nazarite vow, and crowned by prophecy before he can speak his first word. The weight of expectation isn't a blessing-it's a slow poison. Gross's Samson isn't a sanitized hero. He's a walking contradiction: animal-strong, emotionally feral, cursed by appetites he can't control and a calling he never chose. The story smolders with raw conflict-parents torn between love and fear, a nation desperate for rescue but unwilling to change, and a God who is often felt as absence rather than comfort. Every relationship-parent, lover, enemy, self-is drawn with relentless realism, sometimes brutal, sometimes heartbreakingly human. This is literary-biographical fiction at its sharpest. Every chapter unspools in indented, immersive long-paragraph style, written for readers who demand truth over polish and story over sentiment. You won't find clichés or tidy resolutions. Instead, you'll get grit, heartbreak, violent miracles, and the cost of trying to live up to a prophecy that feels more like a curse than a gift. If you're tired of biblical fiction that sanitizes, sermonizes, or flinches from the truth, SAMSON: A CALLING WASTED will punch you in the gut and leave you thinking long after the last page. For readers who crave authenticity, emotional depth, and a fearless take on what it means to be "chosen"-this one doesn't pull its punches.
