QUEEN ESTHER
women of the bible blend {10ml}
Product Summary
Queen Esther was a Jew from the tribe of Benjamin who grew up as an exile in Persia. The name Esther means ‘star’ and is a derivation of the root name of the goddess Ishtar. Hadassah, which means ‘Myrtle’, is a branch that signifies peace and thanksgiving; two things Queen Esther brought to her people.*
Queen Esther’s transformation from orphan girl to a true queen and leader is incredible and awe inspiring. Her story is about what happened in her time as well as the legacy she left for the women of today. Esther was an incredible woman who came into her own power when she realized the fate of her people lay in her hands. She revealed her intelligence, became a savvy strategist, a calculated risk taker, and a powerful and commanding leader. Risking her own life, she found the courage to use the gifts God gave her to save her people.*
