Esther Bible Study: Finding God's Control.pdf

Christians and non-Christians are grappling with the uncertainty of life. Amy and Lynn, trusted friends, offer a fresh perspective on the ancient text of Esther. They skillfully show how Esther's story is relatable to everyday life, using humor and authenticity to share their own pitfalls and spiritual growth. As readers engage with the scripture and Amy and Lynn's insights, they will be encouraged, convicted, and empowered to stand firm in uncertain times. This Bible study is a must-do for such a time as this.

Karen McNary, Director of Global Cultural Engagement, notes that she, like many, has struggled with feeling invisible, uncaring, and uninvolved God. Amy and Lynn tenderly reveal God's control and show readers themselves in Esther's story. This study will guide readers from Persia to their own homes, helping them hope in God's unwavering hand when faced with uncertainty.

Amy Lively, author of How to Love Your Neighbor Without Being Weird, praises the study for providing fresh spiritual insights and raising the bar on Spirit-led personal application and spiritual challenge. Barb Roose, Speaker and author, loves the study's mix of fun, insight, and deep dive into scripture, which teaches her how to live as a woman of faith right now.

Suzanne Eller, author and Bible teacher, notes that the book of Esther doesn't directly mention God, but Amy and Lynn help readers see His guiding hand throughout Esther's journey. Melissa Spoelstra, speaker and author, warns that this study goes beyond platitudes, diving into the messy, deep end of the pool, making it perfect for those who have been swimming in the deep end for the past couple of years.

Kathi Lipp, bestselling author and founder of Writing at the Red House, emphasizes that this study is not for those looking for standard answers, but for those who have been asking tough questions and seeking a deeper understanding of God's presence in uncertain times.
