Ruth

Faith. Hope. Love.

With them, life flourishes; when we lose them, life feels unbearable. Where do we turn when everything falls apart, when purpose slips away and we doubt that God still cares?

David Gooding shows us the big picture of the book of Ruth-a story that centres on another woman. Naomi's world collapses with the loss of her husband and sons, and she feels that God himself is against her. Yet God quietly rebuilds her joy through Ruth, who leaves her own people to seek the God of Israel. There she finds a kinsman-redeemer who takes her as his bride and carries forward the line that would one day bring Jesus the Messiah into the world. Here is God's redemption, told in a true story that gently leads us back to secure our faith, hope and love in him.
