“Be a Daniel’ is the go-to-phrase for encouraging Christians to impact our culture. Mike Cosper turns this mantra on its head by looking to Esther to figure out our world. A brother looking to Esther, I love it! He gets it because Esther has the guts and the grit that we all need to bend the times to Christ.”
“Mike Cosper gives us a finely written, timely, and sometimes provocative commentary on the themes of Esther. He retells the story with particular emphasis on how her story is really our own in a highly secularized society. I want an authentic witness in today’s world and this commentary will help you to live and tell Christian truth in a non-Christian world.”

“Mike Cosper is one of only a few Christian authors today who can match meaningful, insightful commentary with a sense of craft and artistry.

We need this book’s vision of courageous faith in the face of assimilation.”
