Esther is a great book. Love the word “fasting” in it when “God” and “prayer” are not seen in it.👍

Thank you, Dr. Manne — that’s a powerful observation.

The Book of Book of Esther is unique in that way. Even when God is not explicitly mentioned, His presence is unmistakable through the actions, timing, and courage of those involved. The call to fasting speaks volumes — it reflects dependence, humility, and a quiet trust in divine intervention, even in silence.

It’s a beautiful reminder that faith is not always loud or named, but it is always at work.

Did you know that the historical events of the movie, 300 (released in 2006) by director, Zach Snyder happened after the events of the 1st chapter of the book of Esther? It’s very interesting!
