    About this audiobook

    Everyone has a transformation story. Rags to riches. Plain to beautiful. Weak to strong. Esther's story is that, but it is much more. It is a thought-provoking study of God's individual hand, writing silently and unseen across the pages of human history. Perhaps most of all, Esther's story is the account of godly attributes like courage, dignity, wisdom, and strength - attributes that blocked an evil plot, overthrew an arrogant killer and replaced terror with joy in thousands of Jewish homes. // Author Chuck Swindoll interweaves an ancient, real-life story with insight not only into the virtues of Queen Esther, but into how the qualities that formed her and empowered her can be ours.

      I love these "Profiles in Character" books from Swindoll. These in-depth looks at some of the well known Biblical characters offer a lot of insight into these people. Esther is one of the more interesting books in the Bible I think, yet not one that is studied a ton (at least in my experience on Sunday mornings). I've definitely never studied Esther to the depth that Swindoll goes into. I can never do this book justice in a short review, but Swindoll slices and dices the scripture in a way that only he can. The entire book is backed up with Biblical references and there is plenty to learn hear for all people at any point in the walk.
