Who was Hadassah?

Hadassah was a young Jewish girl from the tribe of Benjamin who became the queen of Persia in 479 B.C.

You have heard of Esther of Susa.  

Read the history of Hadassah in the Old Testament Book of Esther, or The Stone Edition of the Tanach. 

The book of Esther was written to record the events leading to the establishment of Jewish observance of Purim (Esther Chapter 9 Verses 24-32) and as a reassuring reminder to the Jews of God's protection.   

The book of Esther is so packed with suspense that you will find it hard to put down once you begin reading.  You'll see expertly crafted character studies of people like Eshter, Mordecai, Haman and King Xerxes here that reveal significant strenths and weaknesses and teach important lessons for your own christian growth.  Even as God raised up Esther "for such a time as this" (Chapter 4 Verse 14) to help save her people, consider why God has allowed you to be alive today.  

You cannot help but be awestruck at how he provides for those who trust him, even through events most of us would see as tragic.  Take comfort that God is in charge, even when things seem out of control.
