Although the people of Israel had conquered Canaan, the Promised Land, they were declining in their faith. To help His people overcome their enemies and re-establish their relationship with Him, God chose people who, despite being ordinary, had a supernatural faith-like Gideon-to be judges.
In this book, the author reveals the importance of revolting against fear and courage to overcome one's problems. After all, Gideon had everything to be a loser, but by not accepting the situation he was living in, he managed to overcome all obstacles and be victorious.
