If I Perish: A Queen's SacrificeBy Paula K. ParkerDescription:
A bold new retelling of the story of Esther, by Pulitzer Prize nominee Paula K. Parker. Book Takeaway:No matter what we face, we should remember that we were all born for such a time as this. Why the author wrote this book:I love reading and writing biblical fiction. A friend suggested I write my fifth novel about Esther. I was hesitant, as I have always considered Esther's story to be so sad. My friend encouraged me to pray about it. I prayed about it, re-read the Book of Esther, then started researching the history and culture of that time period. I learned man things I had never heard in my 60 years of being a Christian; things that intrigued me and answered questions I had about Esther's story. I new I had to tell her story. |
