Awesome Bible Study!

We are doing this as a Ladies Bible Study at our church and it has been wonderful. Swindoll does an excellent job in this character study, and he does in all of them. It really makes you think about what a difference one person, one woman can make when she stands for what is right and follows Gods leadership.

Esther, A Woman of Strength and Dignity

This is the third book in a series by Charles Swindoll that I have read. I found this book to be very inspiring and uplifting. It is the story of a woman, though her humility, grace and strength, with God's help saved her people. It shows once again that God is in control and He uses the most humble people to carry out His plans. He is a God of surprises and we are only to trust and obey Him and He will do amazing things through us.

Excellent book

Chuck Swindoll does an excellent job of breaking the story down into parts and relating each step of the story to life in our society today. We really are no different in living lives that matter to GOD, we still fall far short of being the people of faith. Anyone that desires to take a look at what can be accomplished by one person who chooses to be faithful to what is right in the eyes of GOD, this book shows what can be accomplished and how GOD will be there to guide the way.
