Book Cover & Preview Text
"... He is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror, for he observes himself, goes away and immediately forgets what kind of man he was," ~James 1:23,24.
How much time do we spend in front of a mirror, and yet, as James says, we walk away and immediately forget what we look like.
While we recognize ourselves and others by facial features, we are more than our outer appearance. We are body, soul and spirit, as Paul points out in I Thessalonians 5:23. We daily use mirrors to check our image - is our hair out of place, is our shirt buttoned wrong, do we have a smudge on our cheek - but we do not hae a mirror that reflects back to us the condition of our inner man. But ... what if we do ? What if God gave us a parable that we can hold up to ourselves as a mirror and see ourselves as we have never seen ourselves before?
This book presents Esther as God's parable, or mirror, that reveals to us how we work and rule within our 'kingdom' - our soul and spirit residing in a physical body.

About the Book
The biblical tale of Esther is an oft-told and beloved story, but hidden in the story is a mystery! Esther is more than a historical account—it is a beautiful parable.
The characters and events in the story act out for us a revelation of who we are in our inner selves—the part of us that the mirror on the wall does not reflect. The mystery is solved as the characters, on the parable stage, present a unique revelation of how we work and rule over our ‘kingdom’ - our soul and spirit residing within a physical body. We also see the intimate reflection of the heart of God as He loves, woos, and works in us to draw us to Himself.
