The Book of Ruth

The Book of Ruth is a short biblical book that tells the story of Ruth, a Moabite woman who marries Naomi's son, Mahlon. After her husband and mother-in-law die, Ruth remains loyal to Naomi, choosing to follow her back to Israel. Ruth's story is one of transformation and acceptance, as she becomes part of the Israelite people and eventually marries Boaz, a relative of Naomi. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, love, and God's provision, and is often seen as a story of redemption and hope. more

“The marvelous, I say again, is all around, at every time and in every age.
