The Book of Esther

The Book of Esther

Holly Goddard

Stories really capture our attention when someone is in the middle of a situation where they face a difficult choice. Will they choose what’s best for themselves, or will they choose what’s best for someone else? True heroes always choose the latter.

In the story of Esther, we read about a young woman who faced that very choice. And in her case, thousands of lives hung in the balance. Her story inspires us to respond with courage in the face of fear.
