It’s Time to Shake Off the Dust! If you thought your life was over at the moment of rejection, think again. The story of Jephthah’s life is depicted in the 11th chapter of Judges. Jephthah’s obscure entrance into the world began when he was born to a prostitute mother and a prominent country leader. Ostracized by his younger stepbrothers, Jephthah was eventually disinherited from his father’s will and forced to find his own way in life. The rejection he encountered in his father’s home also forced him to discover an extraordinary amount of strength he possessed which was used later to help save his family from being killed. In today’s society, one of the major issues being discussed is bullying and the effects it has on victims. Without an alternative means of support, some people resort to suicide. A Summons for Champion Strength, The Legacy of an Unsung Bible Hero is not just another Bible story but it provides a perfect example of how a person was bullied but became stronger than those who rejected him. Overall, this book is a great tool for anyone regardless of their age, race, social or economic status. It is also ideal for those who may be struggling with low self-esteem, rejection, fear of progress, physical challenges, or other problems which pose a threat to their life‘s purpose. This book will encourage you to become a champion for God‘s kingdom. S. R. Sinclair has created a mental platform to give voice to Jephthah’s struggles. The author also shares her own triumphant testimonies of having dealt with childhood ridicule of a vision problem and the challenges of overcoming physical injuries sustained from a car accident. A Daily Scripture Fitness Plan is included which is a list of scriptures specifically selected to help increase your mental, emotional, and spiritual strength. Readers are also encouraged to keep a record of challenges, prayer requests, and achievements. One thing’s for certain, … “no one has any control over how they will be born, what they will look like or what they will encounter during their life’s journey. Nevertheless you can control your effort to set positive goals, do your best to achieve those goals, and help others along the way” (Sinclair, 2012). Don’t settle for defeat, rise above adversity by choosing the option to live. Wake up the champion in you!
