@sinbach , my husband gave me Jesus in Iran, per my request, for Christmas! I can't say how delighted I was to hear your Purim episode last night and tonight! I thought, "Yes! More believers are going to get to see God's hand upon Iran both in Esther's day and in this day!"
Ironically, my parents named me Esther after my grandmother so I've always felt a connection in name, and more recently, have been so stirred with love for our Jesus in reading the book of Esther, looking for all the places Jesus is pictured, i.e., going before the KING on our behalf, willing to actually perish that we might not be anhilated.
Thankyou, thankyou, for writing that book, and for the tremendous encouragement you're giving the body of Christ through the BTJ podcast!
