Join Beth in an in-depth and very personal examination of this great story of threat and deliverance. She peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story of Esther is to our lives. If you've ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the study for you. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther's day, it's tough today. This portion of God's Word contains treasures to aid us in our hurried, harried, and pressured lives. The Member Book offers nine weeks of personal interactive study five days a week plus viewer guides for the group video sessions.
Esther: It’s Tough Being a Woman explores God’s providence and the hope He offers women facing challenges in our society. Esther includes 10 video sessions and nine weeks of personal study. Beth Moore explains how God placed a young Jewish woman who fulfilled her destiny “for such a time as this” and saved the Jews living in a pagan culture from certain destruction. Esther, though a queen, lived as an outsider in a hostile environment. Her life offers an example for today’s woman who finds it difficult to live in someone else’s shadow, to see physical beauty take precedence over character, to face life-altering decisions, to move from self-preservation to brave determination, and to see mean-spirited people prevail. You will learn strong lessons of faith that will equip you to live a courageous life.
Going up against heavyweights bent on her destruction, Esther trusted God and landed a blow that saved her people. The Old Testament story of Esther is a profile in courage and contains many modern parallels for today's woman. Esther's destiny can be yours as you know more deeply the God who is in your corner.

Working through the study. All in the womens group are loving it. I think Beth really fills in all the blanks with History, theology, and the commentators views. I think they are all very informational.

Every day as I did the study it seemed that God had that lesson just for me that day. It was a challenge to absorb the information and then apply it to my life.
It is a study that EVERY WOMAN needs to complete. It gives new and renewed insight into our everyday lives as we face many of the same situations that Esther faced many centuries ago.

LOVED the study on Esther! It was exactly what I needed "at such a time as this". Beth's knowledge of scripture, fabulous delivery and love of women and what they need shine through. The book is good but you really need the cd's or dvd or downloads to get the most out of it. I love how she teaches you to dig deeper using commentaries, and other reference tools. I've read and studied Esther before, but never like this.Definitely going to check out other studies by Beth Moore.

Over 80 women in our church are doing this book and video this summer. Everyone just loves the study. It has given us much insight into Esther. The workbook has so much information that we never knew or thought about Esther. Beth Moore does a terric job!!

Be aware the member book is incomplete without the entire video set. I purchased the book thinking it would be a great study on Esther and realized only after I purchased it the $249.00 kit that goes with it is also needed. Looks like a great study if you have the $$$$ to make an investment.

Almost through with the study of Esther, thank goodness. My study group feels its too drawn out. There is lots to learn from Esther but this is way too long and veers from the subject way way too much.

You did it again Beth, our bible study group has done every study that you have made, and this one is just as
wonderful if not better. It's a study you can't put down must continue on to see what's next. You bring the stories to life and bring us closer to the Lord in the process. Your excitement flows into us.
