This woman from ancient times was no powerful princess - just a young, vulnerable widow, an impoverished outcast. The story records no famous events or places - just a struggling family facing hard times in a small, agricultural community occupied with their livelihoods and customs.
But the hidden hand of God is at work in the lives of these ordinary people, and wonderfully at work in history. God transforms hardship from bitterness to joy; God's word liberates people to become a community filled with loving kindness towards outsiders; God's people reach out to their enemies. And most significantly, God's great plan, to send a promised saviour King to redeem people of all nations, is being worked out.
Like those in the story, we may be just ordinary people, unable to see how the events of our lives will turn out. But by encountering the God who works through the circumstances of life, we too can discover the God who can turn our 'poverty' to 'plenty' through Jesus Christ.
I have yet to be disappointed by this study guide series. This,the latest one that I have used, is proving to be an excellent help in unwrapping this delightful little book ,which is set in such dark and difficult times.I am using it in a housegroup setting where some folk have never encountered Ruth,and the background and info. are extremely helpful.
I am in 2 very different groups.We decided to try Ruth,as the usual church material came only erratically .Ruth would be short,and a good test to see how we got on. We have found it good on all counts, opened up the scriptures - we had no idea Deuteronomy was such a vital book - and also resulted in helpful discussion of personal problems etc, We think we may continue with another book but haven't told the Clergy, they might disapprove of us stepping out of line!
This was a great book for our group (5 older women). Everyone responded so strongly to the story of Ruth and the book was a great help in getting people to talk and relating the story to people's lives today. I am used to leading bible studies, but I felt the book would allow anyone to lead the bible study whether they'd done it before or not.
I've gone ahead and ordered 4 more bible studies in this series!!
