About the Book
Persia ruled the world.
Living inside the empire of King Xerxes were God’s chosen people, the Israelites, exiled from their beloved Promised Land because of rebellion against God. But God in his unending mercy, allowed a remnant of his people to return to their land and rebuild the war-torn city of Jerusalem. And while many did return, Esther is the story of those who stayed behind in the Persian capital of Susa. Raised by her cousin Mordecai, the young and beautiful Esther becomes the leading lady of the largest empire in the world. The actions of an evil man soon bring Esther to the turning point of her life where courage and sacrifice face hatred and prejudice, culminating in one of the greatest stories ever told.
The book of Esther gives us an inside look at the grace and providence of a loving God and though an ancient story, it provides living truth for our lives today.
