Download or read book Esther and Her Elusive God written by John Anthony Dunne and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the way the book of Esther has been taught to us in church and retold to us in films, cartoons, and romance novels has missed the original point of the story? Far from being models of piety and devotion, Esther and Mordecai seem indifferent to the faith of their ancestors. How then did this story become part of the Bible and gain the broad acceptance that it has? If the church should not neglect the story, how should it be read? Esther and Her Elusive God calls Christians to avoid the common attempts to make Esther more palatable and theological, and to reclaim this secular story as Scripture. Readers will be encouraged to see in Esther a profound message of God's grace and faithfulness to his wayward people.

Download or read book Seeing the Unseen written by Christopher Culver and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Esther is a small gem embedded within the vast Old Testament Scriptures. It's easy to overlook because it doesn't present lofty doctrine or mysterious prophecies; in fact, it doesn't even mention God. It simply follows the experiences of two Jewish cousins, Esther and Mordecai, who lived during the time of Israel's exile following the Babylonian conquest of Judah and Jerusalem. In one sense, Esther's story was the story of all the Jewish exiles living under Persian rule. But in another sense, her story was unique and remarkable. Unforeseen events and circumstances saw her emerge from obscurity as a young Hebrew woman to become the queen of the mightiest empire the world had ever known. But behind Esther's good fortune stood the eternal purpose of Esther's God. In a way that is both mysterious and thrilling, the story reveals an ever-faithful God who accomplishes his unchanging will for the world, not in the whirlwind but the still, small voice; not with spectacular displays of power but with an unremarkable, and often undetected, hand. Adding its own unique voice to the scriptural chorus, the book of Esther reveals and exalts the unseen, silent, and seemingly absent God whose loving designs are enduring and undaunted; the God who, in every circumstance, is worthy of complete trust and devotion.

Download or read book Enter Into Your Season written by Joy Blair and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-15 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Book of Esther we see a display of the favor of God and how He truly takes the foolish things to confound the wise. God used an ordinary girl who had nothing and placed her in a position of great eminent influence. As you read you'll see how God had His hand all in this situation the entire time. In the story, the first Queen was asked to come and parade herself in front of her husband, the king and all of his party buddies. She refused to submit to the king which resulted in her getting dethroned from being Queen. Therefore, with wise counsel, the king decided to choose another wife from among many beautiful girls in his kingdom. Esther was one of the women to apply for the position. I am quite sure it was a surprise when she was one of the women chosen to go before the king. After great preparation it was time to make her first impression. One look at this glorious, beautiful, anointed woman of God, the king was sold and the rest is history.

Download or read book The Book of Esther written by Alexander Raleigh and published by . This book was released on 1880 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has come about in recent years a lamentable tendency to treat certain portions of the Old Testament, like the Book of Esther, as allegories. This has been done with the best of motives, but the process of interpretation as well as the result to the reader, leaves much to be desired. It is refreshing, therefore, to turn to this exposition of The Book of Esther by Dr. Alexander Raleigh of Kensington, England, and find within its pages a careful explanation of the text which places the events squarely in their historic setting and then applies to the reader's life princples drawn from the passage under consideration. These principles are then embellished with information drawn from other portions of Scripture. The net result is the unfolding of the full-orbed teaching of God's Word on the subjects raised in the text. - Dr. Cyril J. Barber.

Download or read book A Study of the Book of Esther written by Charlotte Travis and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are here for such a time as this. We are at war. Praise is our mighty weapon. These are three points highlighted in A Study of the Book of Esther: A Triumph over the Enemy. In her latest study, author Charlotte Travis takes readers verse-by-verse through the book of Esther with a focus on spiritual warfare. The Jewish people are led from destruction to victory by our God, while pride leads their enemy to a great fall. This eight-week journey provides daily praise verses, weekly memory verses, and spiritual ammunition from the truth of God's Word. The reader will have opportunity to pray and read the text with a daily journal before each lesson, as hearing from God is why we study. As believers, our lives are hidden in Christ, who is the author and finisher of our faith. It's by seeking Him first and loving Him most that we find our true purpose. God's Word builds our faith in the mighty victory Christ offers. As we study and soak up truth, Satan loses the hope of deceiving us and keeping us bound by lies. Your living here and now is not an accident.
Download or read book The Communicator s Commentary written by Mark D. Roberts and published by W Publishing Group. This book was released on 1993 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ezra and Nehemiah address issues that make the front pages of our newspapers - and they speak to the yearnings of our hearts". This is why the author of this volume, Dr. Mark Roberts enthusiastically encourages Christian communicators to explore these somewhat obscure Old Testament texts. For much the same reason the author believes modern pastors and Bible students can benefit from careful study in the often-maligned book of Esther. He emphasizes the book's contemporary relevance, stating, "Esther encourages us to grapple with pressing moral issues in light of God's wisdom". As a pastor with a passion for communicating God's truths to young people and to the unchurched in our world, Dr. Roberts shares his personal success in using the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther to address contemporary needs. Not only is this commentary well-written and carefully researched, but, as an added plus, Dr. Roberts' deep faith and his dynamic relationship with Christ shine through every page. As Dr. Lloyd Ogilvie says in the editor's preface, the author of this fine volume "is vulnerable, open and honest about how the Scriptures he explains have impacted his own life". Marked by the excellence you have come to expect in the Communicator's Commentary series, this latest volume wrestles with difficult questions, such as the rightful place of Esther in the canon and the puzzling roles of Sheshbazzar and Zerubbabel; provides a wide range of quotations and anecdotes from modern and classical sources to help us communicate God's message today; and offers balance of exegetical, historical, and literary analysis along with penetrating applications of the truths reflected in these texts. "As communicators",Dr. Ogilvie says, "we all long for those magnificent moments in our preparation when we are gripped with an inspired insight into a passage of Scripture that prompts us to exclaim, 'that will preach!' We are filled with excitement and enthusiasm to share what we've discovered. This is exactly what will happen as you study this commentary. It is power-packed and brimming over with new insight into familiar passages".
