Book Description
Beloved Bible teacher Ray Stedman’s unique three-dimensional view of the book of Esther examines the story from three perspectives: as an historical document of actual events that took place in the life of the Jewish people; as a thrilling narrative of romance and suspense that reads like a gripping novel; and as a parable of profound and practical truth for our everyday Christian lives. The Book of Esther has amazing relevance for the turbulent, troubled times in which we live. Its adventure-filled pages speak to us across the centuries and instruct us in how God wants us to live in the 21st century.

Book Description
Nita and Suzanne were women on a mission. Already in their fifties, with one ended marriage and perhaps another hanging in the balance, they realized something needed to change—and soon. Relying upon their mothers' examples, they had brought the gifts to their marriages they thought would be cherished, gifts that honored family, security, trust, and loyalty. But these simply weren't enough to make a marriage strong, warm a lover's heart, or bring the fulfillment both partners desired. Something was still missing. But what? In their search for wisdom, they turned to the well-known story of Queen Esther, a woman who not only charmed a king, but, through her marriage, saved an entire nation. Join authors Annetta Kelley Franks and Suzanne Grooms Spears as they share seven ancient secrets Queen Esther, the queen of all Persia, employed in order to become a woman of strength, faith, and power. InQueen Esther's Book of Ancient Secrets: A Modern Woman's Field Guide to Discovery, unwrap the mystery and claim the gifts all women possess.

"Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors, and with other things for the purifying of the women;) Esther 2:12 KJV As you can see, Scripture gives us very little information about the spices and oils used to transform Esther from an orphan girl to a bride fit for a king. To find out more, apothecary, Cynthia Hillson, did much research into Biblical botanicals which led her to a historical study of the ancient spices transported and sold by caravan on the Incense Trail and the Spice Route of Queen Esther's day--a time when these beauty treatments were considered more precious than gold. In this book, Cynthia unveils the ancient secrets of Esther's twelve months of purification. She reveals the physical and emotional healing benefits and the timeless beauty secrets of each of the oils and botanicals that would have been used. She also explains the deep, spiritual meaning and symbolism of the whole process so we can apply it to our own lives. In addition, Cynthia makes most of these oils, resins, and perfumes available for us to purchase so we can be both physically and spiritually blessed in our own preparation to be Queen to the King of Kings.
