Esther was orphaned early and raised by her cousin—a broken and mended Jewish family exiled in a worldly empire. Join Kris Langham as we explore one of the Bible’s most beloved stories, and search to find God’s light in dark times. Daily audio guides bring the story to life as Esther finds her calling, and we wrestle with issues of sexism and racism in our own time.

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.

As Carolyn Lacey takes us through these 30 undated readings you’ll discover that although God’s name is absent from Esther, He is very much present directing the events that take place for the good of His people. Read through these devotions and be encouraged that even when we feel that God is absent, He is still sovereign, in control and loves His people more actively than we often imagine.
