Hadassah

One Night with the King

De: Tommy Tenney, Mark Andrew Olsen

Narrado por: Suzanne Toren

Best-selling author and inspirational speaker Tommy Tenney teams with Mark Andrew Olsen to deliver a mesmerizing tale of historical fiction. Favorably compared to Anita Diamant's The Red Tent for its unexpected plot twists, Hadassah is the fictional account of the Bible's Esther, the Jewish peasant girl who became queen of Persia.

"One night with the King changes everything." This is the message Esther, later known as Queen Hadassah, wrote circa 492 B.C. to one special candidate for new bride to King Xerxes. Now, in present day, another Hadassah, descendant of the bridal candidate, has been given these stories, passed down from generation to generation, of Esther's fateful time in history. It is a tale of persecution and benevolence, death and rebirth, and ultimately, an illustration of faith.

Tommy Tenney painstakingly researched the life of Esther to uncover the riveting details behind this woman's courageous ascent to the throne. Award-winning narrator Suzanne Toren immerses listeners in the captivating world of ancient Persia.

Wonderful!

What a wonderful story. I hated for it to end. The performance was incredible everything about the story was outstanding. I will listen to it again and share it with friends the story of Esther in the best format I have ever heard or seen

One of my top 5 listens, and I’ve listened to 1000s

It was such an adventure and so beautifully told. I could even feel the presence of God in some parts. The fact that this is included for free is insane. I’d have given 5 credits to listen to this again for the first time.

Story of a Queen

I enjoyed this book and found the story of Queen Ester to be compelling. If you like historical fiction it is a good audio book.

To be like Esther.

I so enjoyed the storyline. How she described her feelings how people helped her just because of who she was not because of popularity and standard. I loved your heart towards Yahweh the biblical truth along with the storyline. It draws me closer to the word closer to the Lord and fills my heart with hope. Thank you
