For Such a Time As This ... Take the beautiful, biblical story of Esther, change the lead character's race from Jewish to biracial, place the location in New York City during the 1960s era of turmoil at the time of the civil rights movement, and you have a modern-day parallel to the story of Esther. King and Evie beautifully portray this timeless tale of romance and righteousness in action. Nehemiah 7:5 says, "So my God gave me the idea ..." There are numerous good ideas, but occasionally, there is a God idea. I believe this brilliant work, Evangeline, by Lane Jordan is the latter. In a world o­ften divided by color, culture, and class, she provides a unifying voice offering Kingdom perspective by reimagining and modernizing the timeless narrative of Esther. The story is creative and captivating-the truth is transformative, leading us to truly see each other as God does and to love one another. -Jelani Lewis, Gateway Church, Plano, Texas Campus Pastor
