Beth Moore's newest Bible study is Esther: It's Tough Being a Woman. Going up against heavyweights bent on her destruction, Esther trusted God and landed a blow that saved her people. The Old Testament story of Esther is a profile in courage and contains many modern parallels for today's woman. Esther's destiny can be yours as you know more deeply the God who is in your corner.
Join Beth in an in-depth and very personal examination of this great story of threat and deliverance. She peels back the layers of history and shows how very contemporary and applicable the story of Esther is to our lives. If you've ever felt inadequate, threatened, or pushed into situations that seemed overpowering, this is the study for you. Just as it was tough being a woman in Esther's day, its tough today. This portion of God's Word contains treasures to aid us in our hurried, harried, and pressured lives.

3. Abundant Living: Global Health and Christian Response-Ability: By examining the issues of health care in a global context, this story explores the concept of "Health for the people, by the people, and with the people." Despite astonishing advances in the field, many basic health needs go unmet, even in the United States. In caring for our own health and that of our families and communities, how do we as Christians respond?
