Publisher's summary

Are you weary? Worn out by the bills that keep stacking, a virus that keeps raging, or a heart that keeps aching? If so, the book of Esther brings welcome news: Relief will come!

To be clear, you didn't ask for this struggle. You want to get past it. You don't know how much longer you can hold up. But what if God is with you in this difficult season? When life seems off the rails, remember this truth: the minute you bow your head to pray is the moment God lifts his hand to help.

Queen Esther learned this truth firsthand. When confronted with a royal decree that would annihilate her people, she had to make some tough choices. Would she remain silent in the face of this challenge, or would she speak up? Would she blend in, or would she stand out? But after Esther spent three days in prayer and fasting, God gave her the courage to speak up. God used her to save the nation. And God can do the same with you.

In You Were Made for This Moment, pastor and New York Times best-selling author Max Lucado will help you:

• Put your hope in the God of grand reversals, trusting that God will right every wrong
• Cultivate courage for your challenging times by leaning on the God who redeems and restores
• Discover your role in God's story by exploring how God can use your experiences and circumstances to join him in his holy work

God never promised us a life without trials, but he does promise to be with us as we walk through them. Trust that he can redeem your struggles for a mighty purpose. You, friend, were made for this moment.

Just for me

Right on time! Thank you Mr. Lucado 😎
I will read this again for sure and share.

Encouraging

I love Max and when I saw this audio book I just knew I had to listen to it. The message brought an awaken to my soul that I wasn’t aware that I needed. God is so ever present in his writings bringing joy and acknowledgment to my spirit. Thank you for your words of hope and encouragement.

Incredible

This book is both enlightening, encouraging, and convicting. It is not a once read and be done. It needs to be read and reread!

A must read for all!!!!

Everyone goes through something tough at one point or another… this puts it in perspective.

Great narration and easy listen but powerful

Wonderful study of Esther

I love everything about this book. I would recommend it to anyone who feels small or unsure how they may be used by God, or for those who are just in a place of despair. Max reminded me (through his use of scripture) that our God is the God of reversals! He can turn things around and use us in big ways, if we are willing. As I am going through chemo, I sometimes feel that I am not useful to anyone right now. But this book reminded me that maybe, just maybe I was made for this very moment!

Great

one of the best books from Max. it helped a lot. I needed this so much.

Just what I needed to hear ✨

In a time of overwhelm and doubt in my personal journey and calling, Jesus puts this story in front of me.

I pray that the women taking this study with our group will also hear what they need to hear. And they too will know for sure that they were made for such a time as this ❣️

Timely Message

At this time, I am encouraged to hear what I’ve heard before, in a new way. I feel refreshed and hopeful for each new day. God is bigger than each and every, what is perceived as insurmountable, challenge.

Encouraging and Authentic

Max Lucado brings the ancient story of Esther right into the middle of our lives today.

Highly recommended

I started reading the book a bit before my official Bible study started. I just finished it today and my Bible study officially starts this Wednesday, lol! I ever read books more than once unless for teaching and the Bible...this is worth reading several times!
