Everyone has a transformation story. Rags to riches. Plain to beautiful. Weak to strong. Esther's story is that, but it is much more. It is a thought-provoking study of God's individual hand, writing silently and unseen across the pages of human history. Perhaps most of all, Esther's story is the account of godly attributes like courage, dignity, wisdom, and strength - attributes that blocked an evil plot, overthrew an arrogant killer and replaced terror with joy in thousands of Jewish homes.Author Chuck Swindoll interweaves an ancient, real-life story with insight not only into the virtues of Queen Esther, but into how the qualities that formed her and empowered her can be ours.

      Michael Kramer's melodious baritone beguiles the listener with the biblical account of Joseph. Kramer characterizes Joseph's brother's rage and jealousy, Joseph's imprisonment in Egypt, and his eventual rise from slavery to freedom and power. Kramer carefully depicts the emotions, the challenges, and the fears that grow into faith as Joseph follows God in spite of threatening circumstances. The depiction of Potiphar's wife's seduction of Joseph is exceptionally authentic. Kramer captures her rage when Joseph flees from her sexual advances, only to leave an incriminating scrap of his coat behind in her clenched fist. Joseph's story testifies to the power of human endurance and God's ability to take what man intends for evil and turn it into good. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

      Author Charles Swindoll analyzes the Apostle Paul's character, providing ancient and current illustrations that listeners can use to examine their own lives. In a seamless delivery, narrator Raymond Todd portrays Paul's journey to Damascus, as described by Swindoll, during which he is blinded and then experiences the restoration of his eyesight by God. Then, as an example of solitude, Swindoll recounts the story of the movie CAST AWAY, about a FedEx employee who is stranded on a deserted island for four years. With light enunciation, Todd describes how, like Paul, the executive comes to surrender his pride and desire for prestige when he realizes that being on top will result in a loneliness and isolation similar to what he is experiencing as a castaway. The story of Paul's journey motivates self-examination. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
