I read a second book based on a woman in the Bible now. I actually enjoyed this book moreso than some of the other ones I read. It told a story and showed how people lived in those days. I keep thinking that those were hard times back then, but after reading about king xerxes lavish feast that lasted for such a long time, some of the people didn't have it so bad. It was a bit cool to see how the Jews are able to stand up for themselves when they know they have God on their side. Queen Esther must have been quite the beauty to have Xerxes that much at her will.
In other news, I will be reading the book of Job next. I might read it twice in a row from the excitement and good things I have heard about it. I don't want to miss any good parts either, so a double reading will be in order.
