John
By Janice WeePublisher Description
John is a frail and weak young man who dreams of embodying the strength of his forefather Samson. After a humiliating encounter with a beach bully, John resolves to transform his body and gain the respect he craves. His motivation is not just personal—his beloved mother urgently needs medical treatments they cannot afford, and the relentless Rabbi Caleb who stole the family home demands more money from them.
Desperate for a solution, John learns of a weightlifting competition with a winner-takes-all cash prize that could cover his mother's medical expenses and satisfy Rabbi Caleb's demands. At the gym, John meets Eli, a seasoned weightlifter who sees potential in him. Eli becomes his mentor, guiding him through rigorous training and providing unwavering support.
As the competition approaches, John must push beyond his limits, battling self-doubt and physical challenges. This inspiring tale of determination, friendship, and inner strength follows John's journey to not only save his mother but also discover the true power within himself. Can John overcome the odds and lift the weight of the world off his shoulders?
