Samson is based on the powerful, biblical epic of a champion chosen by God to deliver Israel.

Samson calls upon his God once more for supernatural strength and turns imprisonment and blindness into final victory.

Available Feb. 2, with pre-orders starting Jan. 19, these 10 emotionally powerful songs from a talented group of worship leaders and churches all spring from the biblical story of Samson.
Samson was shot on location in South Africa, directed by Bruce Macdonald and written by Zachary Warren Smith, Jason Baumgardner, Galen Gilbert and Timothy Ratajczak.
