The story of Esther is one of the most remarkable in the Bible. It has all the intrigue and as many twists as a modern thriller. Dark forces of evil, in opposition to the good, swirl around the lead character, who's a girl some Jewish sources have claimed as being one of the four most beautiful women in the Bible. The drama has been styled as a rags-to-riches or even a peasant-to-princess type of adventure. One thing's for sure: the Jewish girl Hadassah...

The Old Testament book of Isaiah can be difficult to understand. Bible teacher, missionary and radio broadcaster, Brian Johnston, provides the key to open up Isaiah's message by explaining the "double vision" model that God used in speaking through the prophet.
