Tenney, Tommy Finding Favor with the King: Preparing for Your Moment in His Presence
Bethany House Publishers 2004 0-7642-0017-8 / 9780764200175 Paperback
ABOUT THE BOOK Finding Favor with the King: Preparing for Your Moment in His Presence FROM THE PUBLISHER Divine secrets of transformation await you in this life-and-death saga from Esther's pre-Islamic Persia. It is here that God uses the most unlikely of heroes to save His people from genocide. How does this story from ancient Iraq apply to us today? If it was a mere children's story, it wouldn't apply at all. But it isn't. This story has the feel of a fairy tale! Hidden among the secrets of palace protocol is an encoded portrayal of Bible purpose -- access to God's presence. God reveals through Esther's life just how He worked through one young woman to save the Jewish people from total annihilation by an impossibly powerful leader. Esther's story reveals eternal wisdom about your own future and destiny! SYNOPSIS Unlocking the book of Esther, bestselling author Tommy Tenney shows how a peasant became a princess and how God makes the same offer daily to us. Finding Favor with the King is critical for preparing us for our moment in His presence. FROM THE CRITICS AudioFile In the Old Testament, a Jewish peasant named Esther prepared for her one-night meeting with a Persian king by humbly seeking the advice of his confidants, taking exquisite care of her body, and fine-tuning the values and intentions that she knew would please the king. Tenney, a prolific teacher and author, does a marvelous job of adapting this story to the challenge of preparing for our one-night meeting with God at the end of our life. In Tenney's hands, the effort to please God somehow escapes the problems connected to fundamentalist religious authority. His enthusiasm and everyday language give this message a practical dynamic that is appealing as well as instructive. T.W. ® AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING I find it incredible that when God wants something said to His church, He sends it out loud and clear, through many different vehicles, using ordinary people yet again, to do extraordinary things. This message of divine favor is being heralded across the earth, and this beautiful portrayal of the life of Esther, teaches us how to come before our King, being clothed in dignity and crowned in righteousness...how magnificently faithful is our God. ("Shout to the Lord" songwriter, Hillsong Worship Pastor and author of "The Kiss of Heaven" ) - Darlene Zschech

Tenney, Tommy Hadassah: One Night with the King
Bethany House Publishers 2005 0-7642-2943-5 / 9780764229435 Paperback
ABOUT THE BOOK Hadassah: One Night with the King FROM THE PUBLISHER Both A Palace Thriller and A Jewish Woman's Memoir, Hadassah brings the age-old story of Esther to life. This historically accurate novel layered with fresh insights provides a fascinating twist on a pivotal time in religious history, and readers will find it bursting with page-turning drama. At the core of his in-depth research into the life of Esther and its setting in ancient Persia -- contemporary Iraq and Iran -- Tenney discovered a compelling, heart-stopping tale. His storytelling gifts capture the power and beauty of the peasant girl who became queen. FROM THE CRITICS Romantic Times In ancient Persia, lovely Hadassah grows up sheltered behind the walls of her Uncle Mordecai's house. They are the sole survivors of their family's massacre by renegade Agagites. When Xerxes, the king of Persia, seeks a new wife, Hadassah is thrust into the harem to undergo a year of preparation for a single night that will make her either queen or concubine. Then the impossible happens, and the little Jewish girl becomes queen of all Persia--only she tells no one of her heritage. Will she have the courage to use her position to save her Jewish brethren from Haman, Xerxes' vile second in command, who plans their extinction? The biblical story of Esther springs to life as told by Tommy Tenney with Mark Andrew Olsen. HADASSAH: ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING (4 stars) contains a wealth of history and spiritual admonition in the pleasing guise of a well-told tale. Rambles.net "This Biblical tale offers some surprises, including Hadassah's first love, a boy who reaches great influence within the palace. The greatest change is the depth of character that the author creates. Esther, Xerxes, Mordecai and all of the smaller characters love, grieve and feel. This dazzling skill with character brings the story to life in a way that the Bible does not, changing it from a story of heroism to one woman's struggle to come to terms with the God who let her family die, and to finally reach love again. The historical details behind this love story are also quite amazing. Tactical details of Xerxes's campaign in Greece and details from the Bible showing the root of the hatred between Jews and the Agagites abound in the narrative. Descriptions of the palace, foods and beauty treatments reflecting the opulent Persian Empire will stun readers with their gorgeous depictions. At the same time, Esther's simple faith and courage outshine these descriptions as the character grows from the terrified daughter of murdered parents to the most powerful queen in the world, determined to protect her people, whatever the cost to herself. Esther's strength of character echoes into the modern day, becoming a powerful icon for Jewish women everywhere." Publishers Weekly Despite a few glitches, there is much to like about this coauthored novel from Tenney, best known for his nonfiction book The God Chasers, and Olsen, a writer whose work includes screenplays. Esther, queen of Persia, who inspired the eponymous book of the Bible, is a fascinating character whose story lends itself well to a fictional retelling. The novel opens as a contemporary woman named Hadassah receives a letter penned by Esther (also called "Hadassah" and "Star" in the novel) and passed down through her family for generations. The reading of the letter transports the reader back to the Persian Empire (a similar device is used in Bodie and Brock Thoene's Zion Legacy series). Several time periods and points of view make for a slow start, but the pacing picks up when Esther becomes the focus. The dialogue is stiff in places, and some readers will find the use of "G-d" rather than "God" out of reverence rather tiresome. However, from their imaginative fleshing out of Esther's unusual girlhood and preparation for her tryst with the king to the uttering of her famous words, "If I perish, I perish," the authors reinvigorate an age-old story. The sexual tension and violence necessary to the tale are rendered inoffensive for the evang
