Women For All Seasons presents stories and insights about women of the Bible in an engaging, modern-day style so as to encourage readers to trust God in every season of their lives.
The Bible says, There is a time for everything, And a season for every activity under heaven … Ecclesiastes 3 : 1
This passage inspired and motivated me to use Biblical examples to show women how they can cope with the unique challenges they face in every season of their lives. Issues relating to marriage, parenting, relationships, financial problems and more are featured in the Bible and in this book. Women For All Seasons presents Biblical matters in an engaging and lively format, while keeping the underlying message intact. Through reflections and scriptural meditations at the end of each story, the reader is encouraged to conduct her own Bible study and self-analysis that will give her a deeper understanding of the Word and how she can apply it to her life.
Excerpt
Esther has risen from obscurity to become queen over one hundred and twenty seven provinces. However, she doesn’t forget her uncle Mordecai, who continues to sit at the palace gates so he can keep an eye on her. Soon, however, Esther’s loyalty will be challenged. Haman, one of the king’s officials, plots to kill all the Jews because Mordecai refuses to bow down to him. Mordecai discovers the plot and informs Esther, urging her to intercede with the king on behalf of the Jewish people.
And now comes the dilemma. How can she speak up for the Jewish people when the king does not know she is a Jew? Furthermore, no one, not even Esther, can go into the king’s presence unless invited to do so. And Esther has not seen him in thirty days. The only way she will be spared from death is if he were to extend the golden scepter to her when she goes in unannounced.
Esther dispatches a messenger to relay this message to Mordecai, who sends back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?”
