Book Cover & Preview Text
Chapter XVI. vs. 4-22.
In time, the man Sam`-son fell deeply in love,
With a woman, De-li`- lah by name.
The lords of the Phil`-a-stines ventured thereof
To ask her to entice him, with aim.
“Find out where his strength lies, and what we should do,
To subdue him, and bind up his loin.
We want to afflict him, and we’ll give to you,
‘Leven hundred bit silvers of coin.”
De-li`-lah, accepting, to Sam`-son was sweet,
And she said to him, “Tell me, I pray,
Where does your strength come from? How comes your defeat,
That you’re bound and afflicted to stay?”

About the Book
The Biblical Women God made through the ages,
Encompasses both bad and good.
Their role in uplifting and sifting the sages,
Would help or destroy as they could.
For knowledge to help or avoid God's commands,
They would show just how needful they were.
Their counterpart men, whom they served with remands,
Kept the distance between him and her.
How sparsely they're mentioned, -important are few,
They're intelligence thought to be less.
They're used and abused. -They're put down to pursue
Having children and cleaning their mess.
This satire of fire that has seared in man's soul,
For the women God gave him to love,
To nourish and cherish, to freshen, console,
He'd be blest by his quest for Above.
From Eve to New Testament helpers in Christ,
God has shown this last vessel He's made,
To be without doubt the preferred choice, enticed
By His promise to love with His aid.
This love God awarded to women to give,
Is the first of its kind: human love.
While growing up in a God-loving home with his parents attending Church, Sunday school, and Bible study, Mr. Bennett was inspired to write poetry and creative prose about anything and anyone. This began his urge to set excerpts from the Bible to rhythmical rhyme. This then led to writing some hymn lyrics, and a religious operetta called "Operetta Life"; "The Los Angeles City Anthem", and more. The years spent in World War II didn't deter his ambition to further create verse for scriptural comfort and knowledge. During his last year in college, he met and married the lady of his dreams, Betty, who encouraged him on to write the four Gospels to rhyme, with some parts of it to music. When published, he continued rhyming the remainder of the New Testament, except "The Revelation of St. John".About the Author
