Description

Encounter a timeless story of evil, awakened faith, and hope for good in a world where God seems absent.

Can Christianity survive a secular age Can Christians live without compromise in an increasingly hostile society And what if theyve already given in to that societys vision and values

In this revelatory and provocative new book, Mike Cosper answers these questions by pointing out the parallels between our world and the story of Esther. A tale of sex, ego, and revenge, the book of Esther reveals a world where God seems absent from everyday lifea world not unlike our own. Far from the gentle cartoon we often hear in Sunday school, the story of Esther is a brutal saga of people assimilated into a pluralistic, pagan society, embracing its standards. Yet when threatened with annihilation, they find the courage to turn to God in humility.

A call to spiritual awakening and to faith in an age of malaise and apathy,Faith Among the Faithlessis an invitation to remember the faithfulness of God, knowing that in dark timesas in the days of Esther or our ownGod may be hidden, but he is never absent.
