Ruth

Ruth
The Book of Ruth is a story about a woman and, of all people, her mother-in-law. This Book is much like a chick-flick. It has all the elements: drama, tragedy, danger, loyalty, flirtation, a love story, brave women, an honorable man, a marriage, and a baby.

This is actually a story, that. First of all, shows us something about the Jewish culture. It also reveals an important link in the genetic chain that led to Jesus Christ. Finally, it tells us a lot about the kind of people we should be: People that stick by their families and ask for the love they need and honor their cultural traditions. 

The Book of Ruth is about the kind of love that draws people together and then helps them stay that way. It’s about the kind of lovev that you need in your life. The first key to finding it is recognizing the right kind of people to as for it from. Ruth was one. 

The purpose of the Book of Ruth is show us that faithful people live godly lives in the worst of times. Its theme tells us that God’s sovereign intervention brings universal redemption. The date in which the Book of Ruth was written is unknown according to my Bible. This may have changed or may be available elsewhere but at the time my bible was written it was unknown.
