Synopsis: Who was Esther?On its surface, the account of Esther in the Bible is a narrative about a beautiful woman’s rise to influence one of history’s most powerful rulers—King Xerxes of the Persian Empire.But at its heart, the story is about God’s impeccable timing, his redemptive power, and how God shapes historical events to conform his promises and grace. In using Esther, God was able to save his people from genocide and preserve his promise for the future.Esther was born for her time. In this book, you’ll see how that’s true for you as well. You’ll see how God keeps his age-old commitment to his people: “‘I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (Jeremiah 29:11).If you’re wondering who Esther was, or want to know how Esther’s faith journey impacts your own, this book is for you!Esther is part of the God’s People series by Northwestern Publishing House. It’s a wonderful collection about the lives and times of some of God’s chosen people. Plots and settings have been taken directly from the Bible, and each book features beautifully detailed, full-color illustrations.
