Pathways by Tony Evans

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Tony Evans and his publisher for sending me a copy of "Pathways" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me. “Pathways” by Tony Evans is an inspiring and encouraging read.   Dr. Evans serves as a guide through the pages of the Old Testament book of Esther, revealing God where His name is never mentioned.   He teaches that every life has a purpose and seemingly random events work together to bring that purpose to fruition.   This book was a great reminder that there are no such things as coincidences!
