Esther’s legacy is of a strong woman who risked her life to save her people. While that is undoubtedly true, there’s so much more to the story. Esther is a book where we, as readers, are invited to look behind the scenes. While Queen Esther is at the foreground of the drama, this Bible plan focuses on what may not be explicitly mentioned in the book.

Just started – thank you. Fits the theme of exile that seems to be framing my year. The absence of direct reference to God is indeed peculiar. It takes some extra effort to find HIm “behind the scenes”!
It does require some searching, I guess. And maybe also being still to know that He is God – even when He doesn’t show up the way we expect Him to. Thanks for writing in!
