The Gospel According To Ruth

Is God there? Does God care? Is He for me? Is He against me? Has He forgotten me altogether? Is there a purpose or plan for my life? Do my decisions make any difference? What if I’ve made the wrong choice or choices? Are there second chances? Can I start over? What does it mean to be a man? A husband? A father? What does it mean to be a woman? A daughter? A wife? A Mother?


If you’ve ever asked any of these questions, the Book of Ruth has something to say to you.  This short book deals with the full spectrum of human experiences and emotions.  It’s a love story, but so much more than a love story.  It’s a book about strong virtue and tenacious faith, but it’s far more than a moralistic tale.  It’s a book about life, and death, and everything in between, but above all it’s about the sovereign hand of a gracious God.
