<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"At first glance, Esther and Jonah don't have much in common. Esther is an orphan girl, out of place in royal courts, who nonetheless becomes queen and saves her beloved Jewish people. Jonah is a reluctant prophet who ran as hard as he could from God. And when he finally gave in and his efforts eventually saved his enemies, he did nothing but complain. While Esther and Jonah endured wildly different circumstances and had distinctly singular callings, they were both appointed by God. In this nine-week inductive Bible study, Jodie Niznik invites you to learn that you too are uniquely equipped and called by God for a particular assignment in a specific time and place. Now you stand at a crossroads, and the choice is yours. Will you choose to boldly respond like Esther or will you fight your calling like Jonah?"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Discover how to live out your unique calling from an unlikely biblical pairing</b> <p/>At first glance, Esther and Jonah don't have much in common. Esther is an orphan girl, out of place in royal courts, who nonetheless becomes queen and saves her beloved Jewish people. Jonah is a reluctant prophet who ran as hard as he could from God. And when he finally gave in and his efforts eventually saved his enemies, he did nothing but complain. <p/>While Esther and Jonah endured wildly different circumstances and had distinctly singular callings, they were both appointed by God. They were placed in a certain time and space in history. God carried them through unique experiences and gave them specific gifts. Despite their opposite attitudes of willingness, their lives are proof of the great things we can accomplish when we follow God's call. <p/>In this nine-week inductive Bible study, Jodie Niznik invites you to learn that you too are uniquely equipped and called by God for a particular assignment in a specific time and place. Now you stand at a crossroads, and the choice is yours. Will you choose to boldly respond like Esther or will you fight your calling like Jonah? With thoughtful questions and practical exercises, Niznik will gently help you examine your life through the lens of Scripture and take brave, bold steps forward into the life you long for!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Every follower of Jesus comes to defining moments of decision either to follow the whispers of God or to ignore that voice and go our own way. With tremendous skill and insight, Jodie Niznik digs into two remarkable Old Testament stories--Esther and Jonah. This study will stretch and challenge you as Jodie guides with wisdom and practical application each step of the way. I deeply value how Jodie refuses to simply fill our minds with information about the Bible--she consistently pursues the So what? question so we are stirred to action.--Nancy Beach, leadership coach with the Slingshot Group and author of Gifted to Lead (1/16/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>From time to time, we all stand at crossroads, big ones that alter our life's direction and small ones that stay us on God's good path or divert us onto painful detours. Esther and Jonah stood there too, and each responded differently, teaching us valuable lessons for today. Niznik's fresh approach tells it like it really was, and is. For example, she nixes the common Cinderella fairy-tale version of Esther's life. Instead, she reveals the real story behind this sex-trafficked orphan who braved her vile situation to save her people. Each weekly lesson includes a practice session to help us apply gleaned wisdom for our own future crossroads. Jodie's studies move us toward transformative biblical literacy and an action-packed faith that lives what's learned. I trust her studies and you can too.--Dr Sue Edwards, professor at DTS and author of the Discover Together Bible Study Series (1/16/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>In <i>Crossroads</i>, Jodie Niznik guides us through the lives of Esther and Jonah and shows us that we, like them, have been called by God for good work that he has prepared for us to do. Niznik encourages us to respond to God by taking a courageous next step to follow him wherever he leads. Each week is filled with outstanding biblical teaching as well as opportunities to consider how these truths apply to our lives. I especially appreciate that Niznik incorporates spiritual practices to create space for us to delve deeper into our relationship with the Lord and grow to know, love, and trust him more. This study is a needed invitation to be daringly obedient to God's call on each of our lives.--Sissy Mathew, spiritual formation and teaching pastor at Irving Bible Church (1/16/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>Jodie's Bible studies are some of my favorite resources! Her insightful and practical applications of Scripture keep her studies at the top of my list. Anyone who picks up this Bible study will feel closer to God and better understand his truth.--Kat Armstrong, preacher, author of The In-Between Place, and cofounder of The Polished Network (1/15/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br>
