Esther

Tanya Pauline

Description

An inspiring classic! Clement Clarke Moore, Dr. Seuss, and Tim Burton watchout there’s a new classic in town!
Esther: A Story of Rhythm, Rhyme and Truth is a retelling of the biblical story of Esther in the fun style of rhyme. It sticks to the details of the story and still manages not to betray its form. Esther is an exciting book in that it never mentions God, but his providence is seen if one can read between the lines. The importance of this story has been widely overlooked and this book is hoped to reopen and redirect one’s vision to the nuggets of truths “for such a time as this.”

Extrait

Min Tanya Pauline has penned an imaginative, creative, and humorous poetic rendition of this very familiar story of Queen Esther. Yet in her telling she remains Biblically sound and true to the original text. With each lyrical verse the reader is drawn into the story, as the story is told in the vernacular of our times. You will be pulled along in this emotional tale that speaks of the sovereignty of God and his redeeming grace! You may also discover some overlooked details of the story of Esther here illuminated by this gifted and talented Ecclesiastical raconteur! An added bonus is the eleven life lessons gleaned from this ancient story. I recommend this book as an aide to any study of the Book of Esther and to Sunday school educators seeking fresh and engaging curricula that make Bible stories relevant and relatable.

Tanya Pauline makes this epic Bible story more palatable for all ages with rhythm and rhyme. This book is delectably creative in its use of poetry that places Esther front and center with the fairy tale princesses that little (and big girls like me) have tried to emulate over the years. It made me smile in so many places because it reminded me of all the precious lessons I have learned from Queen Esther. You’ll curl up with this book or read it to your little ones time and time a gain.

In this book Tanya Parker does the very important work of re-enlivening an ancient, sacred text with her own voice. Though I have read the book of Esther many times, I have never experienced it with such rhythm, wit, and craft, as well as deep moral thinking woven through the narrative and the lessons afterward. As we say in the Jewish community, may Tanya “continue with strength” enlivening more ancient texts with her skilled hand.
