God Behind the Scenes: The Book of Esther

Transformative Word

by Wayne Barkhuizen

Although the book of Esther contains no direct references to God, his fingerprints can be found all over it. In God Behind the Scenes , Wayne K. Barkhuizen helps us trace the unseen hand of God throughout the Esther narrative, while pointing out how the book is still relevant today. As we walk through the book, we'll see how God was indeed active in preserving the people through whom the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would one day come.

I quite enjoyed this little book, that would be very useful as an overview of the Book of Esther - whether for personal study or group Bible study. Includes useful questions at the end of each chapter. Its easy-to-read approach gives you nice summaries with some background info - and from there you could easily spring into commentaries of more depth where needed. Plus there is a nice little bibliography at the end to help with that more in-depth study.

For myself, I found this to be a good reminder, and a good way to revisit this Old Testament book.

Excelente introducción al libro de Esther, si bien hace muchos vínculos a otros libros de Esther, funciona bien como esa introducción y además muestra la forma en que, como humanos, Dios nos usa con nuestras debilidades y como a pesar de todo, Dios siempre está detrás de escena.

Good summary and a few helpful things in here I hadn't noticed before.
