Such a Time as This
One brave woman, gifted with beauty, positioned by God "for such a time as this" 480 BCWhen the Persian king announces a beauty contest to replace his deposed queen, Esther is snatched from the market in Susa by the king's guards. Ensconced in the palace harem, Esther struggles to survive palace intrigue, forging friendships but inflaming enmities as well. Ultimately, the mercurial King Xerxes chooses her beauty, but her triumph is tinged by sorrow. A new advisor named Haman resolves to eradicate Esther's people. With the king's indulgence, Haman issues an irreversible law for the genocide of the Jews. Can the Queen find the courage to plead for their lives? And if she does, can the nefarious law be neutralized?
