Samson and the Pirate Monks:

Calling Men to Authentic Brotherhood
Front Cover
32 Reviews
Thomas Nelson Inc, Feb 20, 2007 - Religion - 224 pages

With no-holds-barred honesty and poignant storytelling, Nate Larkin introduces a model of community and friendship that is reinvigorating men's ministry across the country, a model he calls The Samson Society.

Larkin, through the story of his own past and the stories of those in The Samson Society, offers a radical, refreshing alternative.
