Ruth: Hope for the Marginalized is unavailable, but you can change that!

Ruth was an outcast in Israelite society. As a widow and a Moabite, she was considered the least of God’s people. Yet God drew her from the fringe of society and incorporated her into both the community of Israel and his plan of salvation. In Ruth, we find a story of love, loyalty, and compassion. And we see how God works through ordinary people to achieve his great purposes.

Pray that God would give you understanding as you begin to study the book of Ruth. Read the entire book of Ruth aloud in one sitting. This book was read aloud in synagogues during the Jewish feast of Shavuot (or Pentecost), which celebrated the wheat harvest. The book tells just one story, and it’s important to take in the complete story at once. Reading aloud also allows us to engage the text with more than one sense.
