This is one of my favorites in this series of study guides!

Ezra and Nehemiah are not widely mentioned in significant portions of Scripture, but the obedience shown through these men is beautiful to read and very convicting. I love how these guides simply do their job and guide the reading without adding commentary, but I adore the addition of historical context. The use of cross-referencing in this one in particular truly helped to gain a greater understanding of the chronology of this portion of the Word.

Esther is a very popular book to study, and one that I've honesty found to be overrated until this read through- at least the tenth time I've read it. The themes of true obedience and unshakable faith are so inspiring. For one of, if not the only, Book of the Bible to not mention God directly, the lives of Esther and Mordecai are full of His provision and protection for His people!
