For Such a Time As This

It's no mistake that you are living today--right where you're at, right now in these troubled times. God has a purpose for you to fulfill, a pattern for your life uniquely designed "for such a time as this." That phrase, spoken many centuries ago by Esther's uncle to the young queen, applies to you as well today. But how do you live it out in a way that can make your life count for God's kingdom? Discover the answer in For Such a Time as This. In this insightful and engaging book, beloved Bible teacher Ray Stedman approaches the biblical story of Esther from three perspectives: as an ancient, historical record; as a gripping narrative full of drama and romance; and as a parable of profound, practical significance for our daily lives as Christians. From the life of a young Jewish woman whom God raised up to make a life-or-death difference for His people, here is rich wisdom to help you live your own life in a way that, by God's grace, can influence the world around you.
