Growing Up in God's Word- Esther: A Journey for Young Hearts($9.99Value)

Description

Growing Up in God’s Word – Esther is a thoughtfully designed Bible study workbook created to help older children/teens (and families) walk chapter by chapter through a powerful story of God’s hidden hand at work — a book that highlights courage, faith, God’s providence, and standing firm in difficult circumstances. Where Ezra and Nehemiah focus on the physical and spiritual rebuilding of Jerusalem, Esther reveals God’s protection of His people while they are still living in a foreign land. Though God’s name is not directly mentioned in the book, His presence is seen clearly through every event, showing that He is always working behind the scenes to accomplish His purposes. The book unfolds through a dramatic and purposeful sequence of events. It begins in the Persian palace, where Esther, a young Jewish woman, is chosen to become queen. At the same time, Mordecai, her cousin, faithfully serves and remains watchful. When a wicked official named Haman rises to power and plots to destroy all the Jews, the stage is set for a great moment of courage and deliverance. As the story continues, Esther is faced with a life-threatening decision. Though afraid, she chooses to trust God and step forward in courage, risking her life to speak to the king. With wisdom and careful timing, she reveals the truth and exposes Haman’s evil plan. Through God’s perfect timing, the very plot meant to destroy the Jews is turned into their victory. The final chapters show not only deliverance but also remembrance. The Jewish people are preserved, their enemies are defeated, and the celebration of Purim is established so that future generations will remember how God turned sorrow into joy. Throughout the book, a clear message is seen—God is always at work, even when He seems unseen. He places people in the right place at the right time, calls them to act with courage, and brings about His purposes in ways no one could have planned. From Esther’s quiet rise to royalty to her bold stand before the king, from Haman’s pride to his downfall, from a decree of destruction to a celebration of deliverance, this workbook helps young readers understand that God is always in control and calls His people to trust Him and stand firm in faith.
