Esther
Overview
At first glance, Esther is the imperiled heroine and Mordecai is the master manipulator. When readers take a closer look, they discover that behind the scenes, God pulls strings as his sovereign providence unfolds. Stephen Davey masterfully retells and explains this classic story of God’s provision.

“This is the truth that can redefine our lives. God is going to build His Church with or without us, but He is inviting us to join Him in His work.” (Page 75)
