How much do you know about Esther and why an Old Testament book bears her name? Who was she? When and where did she live? What did she achieve that is so memorable? What is the book of Esther about?Linda Ottewell looks at why Esther and her story are relevant and important today. To what extent can we identify with Esther and what can we learn from her?Esther has all the ingredients for a good story. It's exciting, gripping, inspiring, full of drama and romance, intrigue and subterfuge, conflict, tension and danger. However, it is much more than simply a good story. Despite not being spoken of explicitly, God's presence is felt throughout. The chapters clearly demonstrate God's faithfulness, sovereignty, compassion, grace and mercy, and his loving care for his chosen people.This devotional contains 30 meditations - a daily reading for a month. A brief introduction for each section leads into a Bible reading, followed by a short reflection, with questions or a thought to ponder, and then a closing prayer.

It is better to light a candle than to complain about the darkness.' Advent and Christmas are about the Light of Christ coming into our lives, to conquer the darkness for each of us. Each service in this book is based around a candle lighting, to mark Christ as the Light of the World and also to observe that we take this light into our own hands and hearts as we turn towards him. Welcoming the Light has been written in a way that also makes it suitable for individual worship, lighting a candle to welcome the new day and to commit our lives to God.
