Esther: A Star is Born
Hadassah was just sixteen when King Xerxes of Persia sent scouts looking throughout the empire for beautiful and talented young women. One day, the scouts came for Hadassah. She was beautiful, but she hardly knew it. She was kind and intelligent. She could read and write - Mordecai had taught her. He had warned her not to let anyone know that she was Jewish. Many in the court despised the Jews, so she took the Persian name Esther, which means "star."
Of all the hundreds of beautiful and talented contestants for the coverted prize, Esther was chosen queen of the entire Persian Empire. But the God of her fathers had chosen her first "for such a time as this" to save His people from destruction.
In Esther: A Star is Born, Bradley Booth has written an inspiring and intriguing story of the orphan Hadassah, who became a queen and whose beauty was also evident in her character and devotion to her people and the one true God.
