I knew only some of the story of Esther， I new it was a powerful time for her and what she did for the Jews。 I learned more and found the information to be uplifting， she was able to face her fears and do what she needed to do。 It was definitely her moment。 The way our world is now， we need to find the courage to face our moments and do what the lord would want us to do， with him by our side。 God will get us through these tough times as long as we continue to pray and stand up for what we believ I knew only some of the story of Esther， I new it was a powerful time for her and what she did for the Jews。 I learned more and found the information to be uplifting， she was able to face her fears and do what she needed to do。 It was definitely her moment。 The way our world is now， we need to find the courage to face our moments and do what the lord would want us to do， with him by our side。 God will get us through these tough times as long as we continue to pray and stand up for what we believe in。 。。。more

This book came to me right when I needed some reminding of how God is present even if it doesn’t feel like it。 Max’s choice of Esther’s story is just perfect。 Though I read majority of the Bible and heard countless times the “popular” character stories， I haven’t heard or read of Esther。 Or maybe I have but it didn’t stick with me。 But through this book， Esther has made such an impact to me that I will never forget her and her inspiring story of faith。 I really hope this book reaches the hands a This book came to me right when I needed some reminding of how God is present even if it doesn’t feel like it。 Max’s choice of Esther’s story is just perfect。 Though I read majority of the Bible and heard countless times the “popular” character stories， I haven’t heard or read of Esther。 Or maybe I have but it didn’t stick with me。 But through this book， Esther has made such an impact to me that I will never forget her and her inspiring story of faith。 I really hope this book reaches the hands and hearts of those who need it like it did mine。 。。。more

A classic Max Lucado book， offering the hope we need， especially suitable for these seemingly out of control times。 Lucado uses the book of Esther to demonstrate that as for Esther， God will send relief for us， in whatever situation we find ourselves。

In the book You Were Made For This Moment， author and pastor Max Lucado， writes about the weariness of the struggles and stresses of life。 Lucado writes almost a devotional/commentary on the book of Esther。 Esther and her adopted father Mordecai came to a point that they had to make a stand for God and bring deliverance to the Jewish people or perish along with the Jewish people in exile living in Persia。Lucado brought out some thought provoking things in this book that I had not thought of。 Whi In the book You Were Made For This Moment， author and pastor Max Lucado， writes about the weariness of the struggles and stresses of life。 Lucado writes almost a devotional/commentary on the book of Esther。 Esther and her adopted father Mordecai came to a point that they had to make a stand for God and bring deliverance to the Jewish people or perish along with the Jewish people in exile living in Persia。Lucado brought out some thought provoking things in this book that I had not thought of。 While this is a bit different writing style for Lucado， I thought it was good and made me think！ I would highly recommend this book。 I received a copy of this e-book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

5 starsYou Were Made For This Momentby Max LucadoI used to read Max Lucado years ago and I am not sure why I stopped as he is an excellent teacher。 I am so glad I picked this study up by him featuring the life of Esther and Mordecai。 Esther has long been a favorite of mine。 Lucado digs deep and takes the reader on a journey of what this must have truly been like for Esther and the danger she faced coming to the king in an effort to save her uncle and her people， the Jews。This study would be phen 5 starsYou Were Made For This Momentby Max LucadoI used to read Max Lucado years ago and I am not sure why I stopped as he is an excellent teacher。 I am so glad I picked this study up by him featuring the life of Esther and Mordecai。 Esther has long been a favorite of mine。 Lucado digs deep and takes the reader on a journey of what this must have truly been like for Esther and the danger she faced coming to the king in an effort to save her uncle and her people， the Jews。This study would be phenomenal for a small group or individual study as well as new and old Christians。 I highly recommend this book！I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley。 。。。more

Once again Max Lucado doesn't disappoint。 Just love the way this man tells a story。。 He keeps it simple and so it's easily digestible。 Love the play on words as well。 The topic is important。 It's serious stuff。 And yet， so many times I just had to smile， cause of how he's styled the story。 I read this in one sitting， about an hour， but to get the most out of it， it will require I go back and go through the concepts just a little slower。 The story of Ester is both encouraging and brutal。 Max help Once again Max Lucado doesn't disappoint。 Just love the way this man tells a story。。 He keeps it simple and so it's easily digestible。 Love the play on words as well。 The topic is important。 It's serious stuff。 And yet， so many times I just had to smile， cause of how he's styled the story。 I read this in one sitting， about an hour， but to get the most out of it， it will require I go back and go through the concepts just a little slower。 The story of Ester is both encouraging and brutal。 Max helps us see that while there was a time when both Ester and Mordecai kept their identity hidden， there came a time when there was a need to step up。 They were made for that moment。 The message I got out of it is that as the body of Christ， each one of us is here; in this time and place， because that's where we're supposed to be。 So when we cry out asking God to do something we need to remember he created us and so we need to look to ourselves。 There are many things in our hands。 Perhaps we're meant to be the ones doing something？ There are questions for reflection at the back of the book to encourage introspection of the material read and the development of a deeper understanding。I will definitely revisit this book and highly recommend it to others。 It’s a wonderful， digestible， easy- read。With thanks to #NetGalley， Thoma Nelson and the author for my free advanced reader copy to review in exchange for an honest opinion。 。。。more

Once again， Max reminds of us of the hope， power， and provision of Christ。 Max explores the story of Esther to assist readers in gaining a better understanding our role in Gods story and our need to trust and rely on God for our hope rather than our situations。 While the story of Esther includes many complicated names and a complex history， Max makes it easily digestible while still being an in depth exploration。

Whenever I’m in need of inspiration in my spiritual life and journey， I reach for a book by Max Lucado。 In You Were Made for This Moment， Max Lucado reminds us that God is along with us on this journey especially during difficult， challenging times。 Through the Biblical story of Esther， Lucado reminds us that we， like Esther， were made for this moment and time in our lives。
