Chosen: A Study of Esther

Dive deeper into the Book of Esther and discover how God's faithfulness sustains His people—even when His presence seems hidden.

Though God's name never appears in the Book of Esther, His hand is at work throughout the story, preserving His people and accomplishing His purposes. In Chosen: A Study of Esther, Donna Snow guides readers through one of Scripture's most fascinating books, exploring its historical setting, literary structure, and enduring message of God's providence.

Set against the backdrop of the Persian Empire, this eight-lesson study examines Esther's remarkable account of exile, courage, and divine preservation. Through careful biblical study and historical insight, readers will gain a deeper understanding of how God worked through unexpected people and circumstances to protect His covenant people and fulfill His promises.

As you work through Esther lesson by lesson, you will explore:

• How God's providence directs events even when He seems hidden
• What it means to live faithfully as God's people in a culture that does not share your beliefs
• The dramatic reversals that reveal God's justice, mercy, and sovereign care
• How Esther's story points to Christ, the greater Rescuer of His people
• Practical encouragement for responding to fear and uncertainty with faith and courage

Drawing on historical research, literary analysis, and careful biblical interpretation, Snow illuminates the significance of Purim, the experience of God's people living in exile, and the rich themes woven throughout this unique Old Testament book. Whether used for personal study or group discussion, Chosen invites readers to dig deeper into Esther's message and find comfort in God's faithful care.
