Wrap-Up

After this brief introduction to some of the famous figures in Judges, how are you feeling about them? Endeared by some? Repulsed by others? That’s not surprising. 

But did you learn something about yourself too? Did you recognize yourself in any of these unlikely choices? Did you catch the subtle difference between Gideon’s early humility and his later shift to entitlement? Or Samson’s early entitlement shifting to a final moment of humility?

This book provides tons of case studies in leadership. We learn that none are “all good” and none are “all bad”—they’re each a mixed bag. We are all on a journey of calling and we want to start well … and finish well.
