The Presence of God: A Commentary On Esther: Our God Is a Saving God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781541373723)

The Fate of Humanity Hangs in the Balance

Esther is an amazing book that tells a story in which the fate of humanity hangs in the balance--for real. But, it is a book that is largely ignored. After all, it never mentions God, so what use is it?

To understand God's purpose in Esther, and the message Esther has for you, you need the answers to several questions:

- What was it that so threatened all of humanity? What could one person, living about 2500 years ago, do that would destroy the entire human race?

- Why is God never mentioned in Esther? That He isn't mentioned is actually an important part of the story.

- Esther brings to a conclusion a 500 year plan God was implementing. What was that plan?

These questions, and others are answered as you read the story of Esther, combining hte Biblical record with seculular historical records. Written for both new and mature Christians, "The Presence of God: A Commentary on Esther" will be your guide to a deeper understanding of God and His purposes.

175 pages and 35 short chapters
