Seven studies for small groups to explore the book of Ruth together and learn how God provides for his people.
Part of the Good Book Guides series.
Ruth is one of the best short stories ever written. We are drawn to the characters: grieving Naomi, loyal Ruth, and compassionate Boaz. The setting is also intriguing, as it takes place during the time of the judges.
The plot is a story of redemption which is part of the grand story of redemption. And at the heart of the resolution is Boaz, a figure who points to David’s greatest son, Jesus.
Features close attention to the text, a focus on real-life application, and questions that really open up discussion.
