Grab The Esther Paradigm Conceived By Sarah Monzon Edition

wish Goodreads and Amazon allowed for a,rating because this story is wonderful,

Sarah Monzon has stepped into a world most Christian authors avoid and has penned a tale of beauty, intrigue, and tenderness.
The ending, well, was pretty perfect, Sarah does a wonderful job of ushering readers into a world of sandstorms and lumbering camels, Of heavylidded tents blowing in a sunscorched breeze with the scent of spices draping each breath, But more than that, she opens up the possibility of two very different and not so different people braiding together with mutual respect and love to uncover Truth.


I am not wellacquainted with the Muslim faith, but I love how Sarah deals respectfully with the culture while also introducing the difficulties of two people of different faiths learning to love each other.


Lastly, I'm a kissing book fan and this one did NOT disappoint on the romance factor AT ALL! Wowzah! BEST Sarah Monzon book yet, so just imagine what we, as readers, have to look forward to Author Sarah Monzon does a great job with this modern day retelling of the book of Esther.
The pictures she paints of desert life are incredible, You can feel the heat and sand, Smell the spices. She also has done a great deal of research regarding the Muslim faith and is very respectful while being honest I learned quite a bit from her story.
There is a lot of tension and conflict, which makes this a page turner, What in the world will happen next became my ongoing thought,

Her characters are strong and well formed, Missionaries show the love of Christ to a culture that hates Americans, Bridges are built but its not easy nor is it comfortable, Praise and prayer are prominent in this story as Monzon weaves two cultures, two beliefs, together through God, And the ending! Incredible!

If you enjoy stories of faith, diversity, and overcoming obstacles, I highly recommend The Esther Paradigm.


I received a complimentary copy of this book but was not required to leave a review,
WOW! Sarah Monzon has produced an incredible story, The Esther Paradigm is filled with tension and conflict, yet the beauty of God's love and power shines through on every page.
This is such a unique story, written with elegance and passion, Sarah's heart is clearly expressed within this story,

You are sure to be surprised along the way and left with you jaw hanging open at the power and truth that is expressed.
So, what are you waiting for Go get this book and enjoy a very different version of being called "For such a time as this".

I received a complimentary copy of The Esther Paradigm, I was not required to write a positive review, All opinions expressed are mine alone, Oh wow. This book. What an emotional and powerful read, Sarah Monzon has outdone herself, Hold on to your hats because I have plenty to say about this one,

The Esther Paradigm gives readers a peek into the prejudices and dangers Christians in areas where Muslim people are the majority also known as the/window.
Monzon also explores the hardships and some of the joys of marriagefrom Hannahs shyness concerning her wedding night to a man who was has already been married once to words said during the heat of the moment to intimate interactions, the highs and lows are real.


As Hannah struggles to conform the person God made her to be with the one she believes is expected as the Sheiks wife, she contends with doubts regarding her inadequacies and her husbands true feelings toward her.
At the same time, Karim is upset he is failing at protecting his new wife,

Monzon paints a vivid picture of deserts, nomadic life, and civic unrest throughout the book, Readers are transported to a different culture and more difficult life between the pages of The Esther Paragidm,

With terrorists and ISIS taking over many of todays headlines, the subject of the book may be difficult for some readers.
But for me, it is a reminder that God loves all His people, That there is a thirst for truth no matter your religious or ethnic background, That there are people who sacrifice to spread the word of God in a place that doing so may mean their death.


So, bottom line: This book needs to go on your TBR list right away,

The magic of this book was twofold, It took me to a completely different culture and place and made it come alive which can be hard to do when what is being described is so foreign to what I know and Sarah created a believable marriage of convenience story in modern times that didn't feel cheesy.
Those reasons alone are reason enough to give this book five! Wow! This is definitely a contemporary romance with a difference, and I mean that in a very good way.
Not only has Sarah Monzon, a Christian author, taken up the challenge of writing a Muslim hero, but shes set the whole story within the Muslim culture.
I dont profess to be an expert on the topic, but this came across as authentic, respectful, and compassionate in its portrayal, without compromising the Gospel.
To this, she has added a love story that is deeply passionatethink Song of Solomon, My heart thrilled to the way she wrote the relationship between Karim and Hannahthe intensity of Karims feelings as his love deepened, and the uncertainty and insecurity Hannah had to overcome as she adjusted to her new role.


I loved Hannahs heart for the Bedouin people and found it fascinating to think about how you would witness to people in an area where proselytizing is forbidden.
The answer is found inCorinthians: “To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the

Jews, To those under the law I became like one under the law though I myself am not under the law, so as to win those under the law.
. . I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some, ” Having adopted the Bedouin culture and way of life and shown respect for their religion, Hannah and her family arouse curiosity about Isa Jesus simply by living alongside and serving them.
But that doesnt mean its easy or safe to share their faith,

And Karim Wow. Maybe its simply the fact that he is such a unique character for Christian fiction, but he was almost mesmerising at times.
I loved his voice and the way the author gave expression to his character, He wears responsibility well hes serious, disciplined, and often restrained in his mannerexactly as you might imagine a Muslim leader to bebut these qualities are governed by his kindness and his desire for peace.
Again, Im not an expert on the Muslim culture, but it felt to me as though Sarah Monzon totally nailed his character to use a completely Western expression!

Like the Biblical Esther, Hannah is an ordinary woman in extraordinary circumstances, called to live in a culture that is not her own and married to a man who does not share her faith.
And in the end, she must contend with her very own Haman, I absolutely adored this story and cant recommend it highly enough,

I received a copy of this novel from the author, This has not influenced the content of my review, which is my honest and unbiased opinion, .
