This 10-week study takes a deep look into the book of Esther. Each week covers approximately one chapter of Esther. Brownback includes a helpful introduction and several charts throughout, to aid in understanding the flow of the book. She provides background information for each chapter, and then walks the reader through Esther, verse-by-verse. Brownback does an excellent job of pointing out repetition, explaining historical context, and highlighting major themes throughout this study. She concludes each chapter with questions for the reader, to guide in points of application.
I have been studying the book of Esther with my oldest daughter. The questions I cover with her are based on Brownback’s book, though tailored to fit the emotional/maturity level of an eleven year-old. I appreciate that Brownback is teaching Bible study methods that will help my daughter develop good habits now, which she will be able to implement throughout her entire life. We are enjoying our study together, and I am thankful for this resource!
I highly recommend this author for those who seek a challenging
inductive Bible study. This study can be
used for groups or individuals alike. Brownback
is set to release a study of 1 and 2 Peter in January. I look forward to seeing and working through
more of her studies in the future. Her
website gives a schedule of what studies to expect and when. A leader’s guide to the study of Esther can also
be downloaded there for free.
