Most days, life seems quite ordinary. In fact, some days God seems entirely absent. If you can relate to that, you need to meet Esther. Sometimes the little moments are more significant than you think. And you can trust that God is present, even when God seems absent. The book of Esther gives us a surprising example of how that is true.
THE BIG IDEA: God is present even when God seems absent.
