About this listen

Everyone loves a transformation story. Rags to riches. Plain to beautiful. Weak to strong. The story of Queen Esther is that and so much more. The second book in Charles Swindoll's Great Lives series, this book will show you Queen Esther's life and legacy like you've never seen it before.

Innocently victimized by an unbearable situation, Esther stepped up and determined, by God's grace, to make a difference. But she doesn't despair. Instead, she embraces uncertainty and fights for her people. In doing so, she not only exposed and foiled the plans of an evil man—she singlehandedly saved her nation.

As you dive deeper into Esther's story, you'll learn timeless lessons that you can apply to your own life, including:

  • The importance of standing up for what you believe in, even when it's difficult
  • How to embrace your God-given strength
  • The true limits of retaliation

Join Swindoll as he unravels the ancient, real-life story of Esther, sharing ways that modern believers can embody the integrity, dignity, and strength that empowered Esther as she did the impossible.

Excellent!

I have read two books on Esther, and Swindoll says it best. He truly gets to the “meat” of what the story is about, and how it relates to us today.

The way it captured my attention from word one!

Great read for the young and women of today’s feminist focused society! Embrace being a woman and being a strong woman of God!

Awesome Read!

We are all Esther's as Charles Swindol has told us. We are where we are for such a time as this! We are of great worth and significance. God always WINS no matter the situation or circumstances 🙏🏾

couldn't get past swindolls stereotyping

Struggled to finish. God has a great message in an amazing history. But swindoll seems to put women in boxes of very specific shapes with little complexity. Just because she won the heart of a King in a contest that makes her a brainless sex symbol until she decides not to be? (this is actually pretty demeaning for men as well!) Not a fan of the reading style either. I did not like this book and the Author's prejudices obstruct God's message.
