My thoughts:
I really enjoyed reading Jim Baumgardner’s Esther Queen of Persia. He has brought the book of Esther to life with great dialogue and captivating descriptions. I read the book of Esther from the Bible after I read this book and I really appreciated how much Baumgardner followed the Bible. God truly blessed him with the knowledge he needed to write the dialogue that made this story more powerful and personal.
There are many other parts that I like in this book as well. I liked the detail in the introduction as to why Baumgardner wrote this book and where he got his information. I also liked the list of scripture references, works consulted, and a list of books he has written.
I really hope everyone reads this book. I enjoyed it immensely and I hope to find and read many more books by Baumgardner.
