About the Book
God's purpose revolves primarily for His own glory and the good of His own people. Christians can take tremendous encouragement from that. Is it not strange that we can trace His hand in history and we can believe His promise in prophecy, but somehow, we think He is not in control right now?Book Synopsis
God's purpose revolves primarily for His own glory and the good of His own people. Christians can take tremendous encouragement from that. Is it not strange that we can trace His hand in history and we can believe His promise in prophecy, but somehow, we think He is not in control right now? God is in control of the smallest details of our lives. He who numbers the hairs of our head orders every event in our lives. Enjoy reading this devotional commentary on the life of Esther--and putting its many lessons into practice!
Review Quotes
"In a warmly pastoral manner, Colin Mercer sets before his audience vivid descriptions of the consequences of godless thinking, and warming scenes of divine mercy. He sees in Esther, and in the world that swirled about her, the sovereign rule of a gracious God, and therefrom makes godly and practical application for every believer. Doubtless this helpful read will be one to which the reader is repeatedly drawn."
--John McKnight, Minister, Reformation Bible Church, Darlington, Maryland, USA
"...a very readable and helpful presentation of the meaning and the message of Esther. ...a production that will undoubtedly prove to be of great encouragement to Christ's Church."
--John Greer, Minister, Ballymena Free Presbyterian Church, Northern Ireland
This is no dry and dusty tome! It comes from the pen of a preacher; and its beats are those of a pastor's heart. It seeks to evangelise, with many a warning to the careless sinner--and it aims to edify, with instruction for the Christian in these testing times. Throughout, Mr Mercer combines the virtues of careful exegesis, lucid commentary, and pointed application. If it is easy to read--and that, too, is a virtue--it is not always an easy read, for it challenges, prompting the heart-searching and self-examination required of us all.
--Timothy Nelson, Principal, Whitefield College of the Bible and minister of Ballynahinch Free Presbyterian Church, Northern Ireland
