The Book of Esther - Official Trailer

Book of Esther on sale now on DVD at Walmart and all Christian Bookstores.

Good battles evil in this timeless story of Biblical heroism. The righteous Jew Mordecai and the despicable Haman square off for control of the young Persian King Xerxes. But Haman's plans include something horrible for Mordecai and his people. It is up to Mordecai's niece Esther to win the affection of the King, unmask Haman's treachery and save the Jewish people. Based upon the Book of Esther, this delightful retelling emphasizes the values of courage, faith and obedience.

interesting fact about Esther, in the days of king Artaxerxes, whoever approached the king without being summoned would be put to death, unless the king held out the golden sceptor, so Esther risked her life to save her people.

What's amazing about the book of Esther is that God is never mentioned once, but you can see God's hand working throughout the whole story of Esther. Haman hated Mordecai the uncle of Esther. Haman actually got permission from the King to construct gallows to hang anybody who would defy the Kings will. And he convinced the king to pass a law and Haman tried to use that law to kill the Jewish people. At the end of the day, Haman was the one that ended up getting hung on the gallows. One of my favorite stories of God's word!

This is the best version of Esther I've ever seen.

Honestly I still think Veggietales has the best adaption of Esther.

[JadeCampbell]

I can't wait to watch this. I love the book of Esther and the Book of Ruth

[vegetarianvamp]

I'm obsessed with Esther so I want to see this! But because the king is so young when he banished Vashti he basically sounds like a kid throwing a tantrum, XD.

Why do I feel like i just watched the entire movie in that trailer.

[brendamoreira]

0:27 if I were Esther, and if Xerxes (Joel) was the king, I would also fall in love haha

[hauteswan]

I am glad that they will make movies depicting the stories of the bible.

Buying this as soon as it hits the shelves.One of my favorite books in the Bible. What a courageous and loyal young woman. A true savior of the Jewish people.

[softsquiddo]

[automaticchic]

I wish there were more big budget Christian movies!!

[barbiwilson]

I absolutely love this movie. So does my family and friends! Great work!!

[JWPetros]

I think the comments below are quite harsh - the film doesn't pretend to be anything it is not. Of course a Christian film won't be able to compete with a mainstream blockbuster, and to maintain a "Dove Foundation Family Seal of Approval", it will need to be somewhat toned down. Breathe people!

I have to say it looks like One Night With the King has this one trumped soundly, even with its plot flaws. It's well scripted, stunningly cast and costumed, the sets are breathtaking and exotic...it's still the best I think. I'll still watch this one, but my expectations are low.

[gracefigueroa]

When you watch it 5 years later and now see Joel being bigger and better than ever <3 <3 <3

[patriciahawkins]

I met this Author of the book at a Single Moms Banquet, I wished I had the money I would have bought the book!! Wonderful Lady that wrote this book!

[natenewman]

IT JOEL
He the lead sing er for For King & Country

[RPG_Angie]

I recommend One night with the King, it's the same story but it feels like an actual movie when you watch it, not a high school play.
