Esther is an absolutely rich story.

I understand that it is the only book in the bible that does not mention the name of the Lord.

...except in 5 acrostics.

Like Esther's name means "hidden", the Lord's name is also hidden in the book, just as He is hidden in the background, unseen, but still powerfully working for His people.
