Ruth

Ruth

Two childless, destitute widows - one older and weighed down with grief and sorrow, the other younger and naive ... their journey from tragedy to joy is the story of the book of Ruth. Though one of the shorter books of the Old Testament, the book of Ruth has proven to be one of the most memorable and influential to God’s people. Ruth’s example of faith and faithfulness in the midst of great tragedy continues to leave an indelible mark on all who study her story.
