Recommended Reads (Literally)

Per a Samson brother:

I don't know where everyone is in their journey, but I want to mention two books that have helped redirect my thinking on who God is, who He says I am, and what it looks like to be a godly man and husband...

The Cure by Trueface
Exemplary Husband by Stuart Scott


I almost didn't read The Cure.  A Samson brother mentioned I might like it.  So, I got the Audible version and got busy with life and didn't make time.  Then, a month later, this brother mentioned it again and I recalled Audible.  From there, I showed it to him, confirming it.  That led to me listening to that tome nearly 8 or 9 times.  Obviously, it was very impactful. 

I found Stuart Scott's book, Exemplary Husband, at church almost by accident.  It was on a bookshelf (obviously appointed by God) and when I read it, it simply blew me away.

These both complement what's going on in Samson in the sense of us becoming the men God has planned (all along) for us.

I don't mean to suggest these should / might replace your commitment to community, having a Silas, taking your mask off and being authentic.   Instead, they may very well be a welcome companion on your individual recovery journey.   I mention them to you simply because I'm thankful someone mentioned them to me.
