Next to Esther, Ruth is probably my favorite woman of the bible. Where Esther was strong and stood up for what was right. Ruth, humbled herself and submitted. Two totally different personalities, two beautiful examples for women today.
Right now, I want to talk about Ruth, a study of Ruth. Since Ruth has always interested me, when I was visiting a favorite blog, I noticed that this blogger had written a study of Ruth. With my kindle app on my droid, e-books are my preferred way of reading. So, seeing that I could buy the e-book for only $2.99, I thought “why not?” Sooo glad I did!

You know I’ve been thinking of getting a kindle sometime, I’m still so old-fashioned with book reading, lol.
I too am impressed with Ruth, her faithfulness to God is an shining example to us all!
What a lovely review of a great book! I also read the book and it really spoke to my heart during such a difficult season of my life. Worth every penny! 🙂
It was amazing!
I love studying the women in the Bible. In my second semester in college I took the class “Women of the Bible” and it was great! What really spoke to me from your post was the sentence “Like we do when we stand on the edge, do we choose to stay where we know what will happen, or do we jump and trust God to lead us?” Right now my boyfriend (and I) are at place where is jumping and if God does not catch him…he will fall hard.
Can’t wait to see what the Lord will do next!
Amen. I’m visiting from the Thoughtful Thursday blog hop, and wanted to thank you for this study of Ruth. I’ve also been thinking and praying a good deal lately about submission, and trusting God to lead us when we cannot see our way.
This was a blessing-thank you.
Peace and good
Thanks Chelle, In this day and age when submission is considered old fashioned, the story of Ruth just completely inspires me!
Ruth’s lesson for me is her seeming simplicity. She is no drama queen. She simply sees her duty and does it, lead by a heart for God and His people. Sure wish I could see it all as clearly.
Exacty! That’s the reason I love her so much!
I just saw this link on FB, I can’t wait to check this out.
