Name: What Is Your Hair?
Author: Mentor Morris Njogu

About the book

What if your own strength—your talent, voice, ability, creativity, or calling—was like Samson’s hair? What if your power didn’t lie in what you do, but in how you’re set apart?

This book is a mirror. A challenge. A mentorship tool. A warning. And a lifeline. It is a call to every young person navigating purpose, pain, pressure, and power.

Because like Samson, your hair can grow back.

Boundaries don’t limit you. They concentrate you.

The chapters

01Chosen Before BirthYou did not choose you: like Samson, you were sent with an assignment and instructions before you were born.
02The Nazarite Vow: Boundaries That EmpowerSamson's three rules as guards for clarity, purity and consecration, and why boundaries concentrate rather than limit you.
03Identifying Your "Hair"Discovering what makes you dangerous to darkness: the gift or trait that feels normal to you but strikes others as unusual.
04Not All Scissors Are EqualThe wrong hands can end the right purpose: compromise, pleasure, neediness, pride, isolation and distraction, and choosing who holds your scissors.
05The Scissors of LustWhen pleasure becomes poison: how lust works and practical steps to defeat it.
06The Scissors That Cut PurposeNaming the blades of the youthful season, from Delilah relationships and peer pressure to bitterness and pride.
07The Voice of DelilahDistractions, deceptions and desires: discerning which voices are sent to sharpen you and which to shear you.
08Blind, Bound, but Not BrokenWhen the prison becomes a classroom: losing sight is not the same as losing purpose.
09The Hair Begins to Grow AgainThe recovery of power: restoration happens in the dark and takes time, but it happens.
10The Comeback Is in the CovenantWhy failure is not final when we remember the covenant and surrender rather than rely on strength.
11Regrowth, Not ReplacementRestoration redeems consequences without always erasing them, and makes a wiser vessel.
12Grace Is the BarberThe second cut that sanctifies: letting grace cut away shame, pride and self-reliance.
13From Prisoner to PurposeThe God of second strength: humiliation received rightly gives birth to humility.
14The Final PushWhen purpose outlives pain: surrender is more powerful than strength, and no single chapter is your conclusion.
