This book blew me away! I have always been fascinated by the story of Queen Esther and read Gilded Chamber years ago. But this current book took her story to another level. Want to know why Arterxerxes was so kindly disposed to Nehemiah (Neh 2:2-6). The queen next to him was Esther, and he had helped save his life. Want to know why you aren't sure whether Esther was married to Xerxes (as in the Book of Esther) or Arterxerxes (history books), it is because she was married to both. And many other questions are answered in this page-turner, something to be said for a book about a book from the Bible, but for me, the Bible is a page-turner!!
