"I recently completed a group study from Confident Weakness Ministries on Esther. I’ve participated in many Esther studies over the years. So, before beginning another one, I asked myself how could there be that much more to glean from this book? CW's Esther curriculum showed me there was still a great deal to learn.
Embarking on this study has been a truly enriching experience. Through thought-provoking questions, this study stimulated us to dive deeper into the narrative, uncovering layers of meaning that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. One of the stand-out features of the curriculum is its engaging format. The lessons are structured in a way that motivates group members (even the quieter ones) to actively participate in the discussion, promoting a sense of community.
The author sprinkles Scripture references throughout this study from both the Old Testament and New Testament that further enrich the Esther story. For example, in one lesson, we were able to recognize and compare similarities between the rich fool in Luke and Haman in Esther. Young Queen Esther displayed great wisdom and resilience as she navigated uncertain times. She placed complete trust in God, even in the face of danger. I’ve come away from this study with a renewed awareness that in the “uncertain times” of the world I live in, I can’t go it alone. I must allow the Spirit of God to cultivate in me the same courage, faithfulness, and humility that Esther practiced.
Confident Weakness Ministries offers an excellent resource for anyone seeking to delve into the story of Esther. Its comprehensive approach, relevant application, and active involvement make it an invaluable tool for group or personal study. Whether you are a novice or seasoned Bible student, this workbook is sure to inspire and enhance your journey through the pages of Esther. Highly recommended!" Karen S.
