I give this book 5 stars. The content affects the very depths of a woman's soul. It is without a doubt, timely, due to the world events. As a pastor's wife, I have used all of Ann's books as teaching materials for my women's ministry. She is open, honest, scripturally sound and teaches with wisdom and understanding as a mature seasoned woman. Ann is not fearful of teaching truth and righteousness, as she lives it. I keep a generous supply of her books in my office, to give as gifts to women I counsel. Don't miss taking your own personal journey with Ann, as she opens hearts and eyes to the life of Esther. A woman of grace, courage, and excellance! IT!S A MUST READ, expecially for young women.

I didn't realize the book had study questions at the end of the chapters.
These relate to the book of Esther. She is my favorite Bible character. I feel the book directly relates to woman today. Esther was a woman of great courage in hard times. Life today is no different. I enjoyed the book very much. I recommend it for study and reading. Ann Platz speaks very gracefully.

I have loved Queen Esther since childhood and jumped at the chance to learn more about her. I lead a Christian book club and everyone in my group loved this book. The discussions it led to were fantastic! I like the author's style and appreciate the balance that she was able to create...emphasizing both Esther's courage and obedience to God. Too often it's one or the other. We need both in order to fulfill our purposes here on this earth! I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about Esther or simply wanting to discover how to make themselves available to God.

Queen Esther's Reflection: A Portrait of Grace, Courage, and Excellence is a thoughtful examination of the role Queen Esther played in God's divine plan, and the lessons that every Christian woman can learn from Queen Esther's ascent to grace. Chapters recount Queen Esther's story, then go on to show how Esther's experiences apply to modern women's lives, especially with regard to tending to one's marriage. Study guide questions for personal or group reflection enhance this wonderful discussion of gracious living for Christian daughters, wives, and mothers.

What an incredible book!! This is a must read for every woman. Ann has a unique way of putting together the history of Esther with the practical application of the truths from Esther for use in our daily lives. Ann portrays the grace and beauty of Esther in her own life and does so with Southern Charm.
Our Women's Ministry Team chose the theme of Ann's book for our fall retreat. When we all read the book...there was no doubt that the Lord's annointing is all over it. The book came to us ...for such a time as this... and we believe God will use it in our lives as well as yours.
You will not be disappointed by this book...it will be a read over. Special blessings to all who read this book.

Ann Platz is a very gifted writer and this book is a wonderful inspiration to women. Ann takes life lessons from this ancient story and applies them to our lives today. There is a lot that women today can learn from the life of Queen Esther, and Ann applies her wisdom gracefully and practically.
