O Virtue, Where Are Thou? : A Story Of Esther

For centuries, the story of Esther has captured the mind of not only master theologians but also ordinary readers of the Bible. Despite its popularity, seldom has it been read to understand the deeper meaning that lies beneath the fairy-tale like narrative of simple peasants, Esther and Mordecai, rising from rags to riches. The Book of Esther is an extraordinary blend of hope and despair, faith and reality, and power and vulnerability, and to understand it, it demands a new perspective. The book takes the reader to a new height and rides the sea of adventure with Esther and Mordecai, revealing that, on its way to its climatic point, there are many signs of virtue strewn all around. These signposts are necessary for today's world, which is clueless about the true value of virtue. As a supplemental reading of Esther, the book offers a unique and innovative way to read and understand the main characters of the Bible, like Esther and Mordecai, and learn from them the key components of godly characters like faith, courage, and virtue.
