Description

Beauty pageants, palace intrigues, genocide and a courageous strong woman!  What a story!!



As we work through #TheBibleInAYear, we look at the book of Esther.  This book tells the (likely known) story of Esther, a woman first known for her beauty, then her bravery and then finally her cunning.



Beyond serving as a great story about a strong woman, the book brings up bigger questions, pressing for ancient Jews but increasingly relevant for modern Christians, of how much we can (and should) assimilate into a broader culture that doesn't hold to our religious principles.  



Note:  Sorry for the slight delay in publishing.  Some software upgrades slowed down some things on this end.  If the sound mixing is off, please let me know.
