Esther: For such a time as this by Peter Adam (Publisher: Aquila Press. Date Released 8 January 2019)
Esther is a book which has intrigued generations, with its powerful, action-packed narrative, in which God’s people find themselves in exile, and under persecution. In this moving and astounding narrative of rescue, the hand of God which is clearly seen, although not referred to. Nor is the book of Esther mentioned in the New Testament. In his thoughtful commentary, Peter Adam takes readers through the narrative of Esther, with its amazing twists and turns, and as he encourages deeper reflection on the themes of the book, he also draws out helpful questions for Christians to ponder on today, that they too may consider that God has placed them in their situation to serve him and his people ‘for such a time as this’.

Kyoto Momiji Tanka is a companion volume to Kyoto Sakura Tanka (Rhiza Press, 2016), which celebrates Kyoto in spring, during the cherry blossom (sakura) season.
