The Seven Secrets of Self-Confidence and Influence

Using the story of the biblical Queen Esther as a backdrop, Dianna Booher explores components of self-esteem and shares how a Christian's sense of self should be rooted in a relationship with God.

Meet modern Esthers, Christian women called to pivotal decision-making and bold behavior:

• Nadia, who models patience, prayer, and love despite heart-wrenching circumstances
• Susan and Fran, who speak out against unethical activity in their workplaces
• Margaret, who teaches giggling preteens how to serve

Plus, meet the original Esther and discover her seven secrets for becoming a "high-impact woman"—someone who dynamically affects others with courage, confidence, control, communication, character, connections, and calmness.

Like Esther, your actions can mean the difference between a tragic or miraculous outcome. Live passionately and influence others—for good.

Meet some of God's best examples and find out how to start your own Esther Effect.
