Esther

<p>In the glittering courts of Persia God's name is never spoken-yet providence never stops moving. <em>Esther: The Hidden Queen</em> is a lyrical psychologically precise portrait of an orphaned exile who becomes an imperial queen and at the decisive hour risks everything to save her people. D. Michael Gross renders the Book of Esther as political-theological drama: beauty as policy bureaucracy as liturgy courage as the art of timing. The narrative honors Scripture while inviting modern readers into the felt reality of exile-where faith survives by discretion wisdom learns diplomacy and silence becomes the language of trust.</p>
