The Messianic Peshitta Megilah for Purim is a unique book offered for celebrating Purim. It is an abridgement of the book of Esther. Esther is the only book in scripture that does not mention our G-d directly, neither by name nor by title. This abridged Megilah offers the Messianic community the opportunity to both celebrate Purim, and to learn more about Purim, and hence about the book of Esther. Each chapter starts with a significant, direct quote from the Hebrew and the English, and the rest of the corresponding, biblical chapter is summarized, for brevity and clarity. After each summarized chapter, there are "Thoughts to Consider," with probing analysis and questions concerning that chapter, focused on the Messianic overtones of the book. These can be discussed during the Shpiel. There are also suggestions for celebrating the Purim Shpiel. The book starts with the blessings for reading the Megilah, and ends with a glossary to define transliterated terms with which the reader may not be familiar. These transliterations are offered to render the more Jewish tone of the work, and to aid in understanding Esther on a deeper level. The author hopes that all who read/use the Megilah will gain better insight into the plan of Salvation, and how detailed and 'present' G-d is in our lives, even when we do not see or hear Him.
