Publisher Description

In Great Lives: Esther, Dr. Swindoll delves into the real-life story of Queen Esther showing how the qualities that empowered her godly life are available for every Christian.

Everyone loves a transformation story. Rags to riches. Plain to beautiful. Weak to strong. Esther's story is that, but it is much more. It is the account of God working mightily in one life and how godly attributes like courage, dignity, wisdom, and strength can thwart evil and replace terror with joy.

Chuck Swindoll celebrates the story of Esther and reveals how every Christian can live a transformation story.

"This is the first book I read in this series, even though it is book two. Swindoll does a great job of going through the scripture bit by bit and disecting it as a whole. Did you know God's name is never mentioned in the book of Esther? Did you also understand the rituals of what Esther went through to become a queen? This book made me both angry and happy. Angry because of the king's heart, and happy because of the miracles that God did with the kings heart. Amazing stuff. I also liked how Swindoll writes in this. It is as if he is talking to you. I read,"Did you see that? Did you see what just happened here?" He is talking to us! It is such a great way to write. He also asks us to stop, close the book and look up some verses in your bible, then come back to this page and continue reading. He does an amazing job and I can't recommend this book enough!"

    " In a book of the bible where God is never mentioned it is a great look at faith and religion. I love the story of Esther even the history of this woman is not obvious by reading this short story in the old testament. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about their faith. "
