Why is Ruth a favourite book of the Bible for many Christians? We learn from the introduction to this study guide that “we are all Ruths at heart, foreigners and strangers brought into the covenant kingdom by the overwhelming grace of God.” Each time we read this book of the Bible, we are thrilled to see how our sovereign Father directs circumstances so that Ruth the Moabitess becomes a mother in the covenant line of Jesus in His incarnation.
The beautiful little book of Ruth shows how God preserves His church even in such dark times as the period of the Judges when every man did that which was right in his own eyes! Other important lessons contained in the seventh book of the Bible concern faithfulness and self-sacrifice, the importance of lively membership in Christ’s church, courtship and marriage, redemption and inheritance, etc.
The seven lessons in Carl Haak’s delightful study guide come complete with introductions, study questions, activities and memory verses.
