The suggestion with "Esther: Day by Day" is that you read a chapter of Esther in your Bible then read the corresponding chapter here. Our hope is that "Esther: Day by Day" will illuminate what is going on, and help you to go deeper in your understanding, appreciation, and application of God's Word. One of the major themes found in the book of Esther is the providence of God. Though God is not named in this book, Pastor James does an amazing job in pointing out that He is present and active in everyday life. "Esther: Day by Day" is a wonderful tool to use when reading the book of Esther as it reminds you of Jesus' words, "I will never leave you or forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). Jeff GipePastor, New Creation HBIn the book of Esther, God is not mentioned once by name. It almost seems like He is not present in the story, yet James does a great job pointing out where God's interventions could be seen. Throughout this devotional, James successfully discerns that the decisions of man had very little impact against the plans of God. If you have felt as if God has not been in control of your circumstances because He seems silent- read this encouraging book. It will serve as a good reminder that God is working, even when He does not seem to be present. Jaime SolisFounder, @itiswellorg
