Fun Recommendations:
- For the most Biblically accurate movie I’ve seen to date (though still not really driving home the rape aspect of things):
- For the cute Veggie Tales rendition of her tale:
- There’s also this Hollywood take on her story, and is the favorite of a lot of my friends, but the inaccuracies make me FRUSTRATED. I’ve watched it a handful of times, and always end up raging at the screen.
- There are also a gazillion fictional books written about her – no specifics to recommend, but they’re all fun reads. Just google “Esther” or “Hadassah” and you’ll have a lengthy list.
