Book Review: A Reluctant Queen

About the book:

An inspiring re-imagining of the tale of Esther, a young Jewish woman thrust from a life of obscurity into a life of power, wealth, intrigue . . . and tender love.

See the story of Esther in an entirely new way-with all the political intrigue and tension you remember, but told as a passionate and tender love story between a young man and woman. Misunderstood by many, King Xerxes was a powerful but lonely man. Esther's beauty caught the eye of the young king, but it was her spirit that captured his heart.

Imagine anew the story of Esther, one of our faith's great heroines, destined to play a key role in the history of Christianity. More here.

My Opinion

I absolutely loved this book because it was really interesting to learn about Esther and her story. Her Bible book has always really interested me and this gave a fiction look at her life!

I was really drawn into the love story Joan Wolf made from this story and I loved learning about the Persian lifestyle and methods of Bible times!

I recommend A Reluctant Queen for all Christian book lovers! If you love the story of Esther from the Bible, then you will love A Reluctant Queen. Just remember this book is fiction and the storyline and characters may not all be based on the Bible!
