EstherSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg continues his discussion of the book of Esther. He describes how Queen Esther bravely approached the king to save her people, even though it was dangerous due to the prime minister's plot against the Jews. The king granted Esther's request, and Haman was hanged instead. Mordecai became increasingly prominent and holidays continue to be established in the Jewish religion to commemorate events such as the Purim festival.
