Esther: Character Under Pressure (LifeGuide Bible Studies)

"Who are you when no one's looking?"

When her people were threatened, Esther had to ask herself that question. She could risk her life to try to save her fellow Israelites. Or she could keep her head down to wait out the threat in obscurity and safety.

In this nine-session LifeGuide® Bible Study for individuals or groups, Patty Pell leads you to examine the story of Esther. You'll discover how godly character often develops under pressure. And you'll discover ideas for living a godly life in the midst of contemporary pressures.

• A guide to getting the most out of the study, including suggestions for how to participate in individual or group study.
• Leader's notes for preparation and leading a group through the study.
• "Now or Later" section following each session to help you act on what you learn.
• Trustworthy biblical wisdom from experienced authors.
