{"product_id":"the-seen","title":"Behind the Seen: God's Hand in Esther's Life...and Yours","description":"\u003cp\u003e      \u003cstrong\u003eThe things you never knew about Esther would fill a rather fascinating book.\u003c\/strong\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e      Does the fact that she successfully hid her Jewish identity--diet  dress  and worship--suggest that  like many modern teenagers  she temporarily abandoned the faith? Why did Mordecai refuse to extend to Haman even a legitimate gesture of respect? Did it have anything to do with a blood feud between them that spanned many generations?    \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e      How do extrabiblical sources portray King Artaxerxes? Why is God never mentioned in the book of Esther? Does this have any significance to us who live today in a seductive and lavish society that celebrates His silence? And what does this story tell us about the last days?    \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e      Aroused from her enchantment with 'the good life' to a sudden realization of her spiritual identity  Esther became a hero of faith. Her story speaks to all who  in the face of daunting circumstances  feel powerless and abandoned. It speaks to those who are absorbed with materialism; enamored with the self-indulgent world of the seen. It speaks of hidden faith emboldened. Compromised faith reborn.    \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e      In this book Larry Lichtenwalter reminds us that even when heaven seems silent  and the world so shrill  yet behind the dim unknown  God is standing in the shadows  keeping watch above His own.    \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e           \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cul\u003e      \u003cli\u003eIntroduction: The Queen and I\u003cbr\u003e      \u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli\u003eAn Upside-down Cake\u003cbr\u003e      \u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli\u003eLifestyles of the Rich and Famous; Plus?Beauty and the Feast\u003cbr\u003e      \u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli\u003eMr. Lonely and the Pretender\u003cbr\u003e      \u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli\u003eIf You Understand This  You?re in Trouble\u003cbr\u003e      \u003c\/li\u003e      \u003cli\u003eThis Is Your Hour.
