Great study of Ruth

[Shayla · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the first in-depth bible study I've done with Courtney Joseph. I really liked that it was simple and easy to do. It takes maybe 20 minutes in the morning. I've done other bible studies from Beth Moore or Priscilla Shirer which are more comprehensive, but take a lot more time. This was a great one to participate in if you don't have 1 hour or more to spend. Honestly, this is probably one of the first ones I've completed every page. I still got a lot out of the study though. I'd never done another Ruth study so the whole "Jesus is our kinsman redeemer" thing was new and amazing.

I would recommend buy this one vs getting the kindle edition. I used a journal with it to answer the questions, but its not like the other "one chapter a day" studies that Courtney Joseph does. There was a lot more to answer and write down and it would have been better just to buy it and write in the book.

This was a simple and very practical study of Ruth. It further instilled the ideas and life lessons I’ve learned while previously studying the book of Ruth. Courtney Joseph and Beverly Wise help you to seek the truths found in God’s Word and soak them up, also making it applicable to our lives today.

Beautiful study filled with Hope

I enjoyed this study because it is in depth yet easy to complete and understand. I loved that I could spend time in it each day (or miss a day or two) and feel filled up but not have to spend an hour to complete it. The author did a beautiful job teaching as well as speaking to my heart.

Eye Opening

I never realized how LynchBurg relied upon faith in the Lord. I also didn't know of the significance of the different traditional behavior within this book of the Bible before reading this study. I felt myself better understanding God's love and my faith has grown.

Loved this verse by verse, word by word in depth discovery of the book of Ruth.

[Mykelle Wilson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great hands on devotional. Keeps you engaged in the word and breaks down the verses/chapters for a greater understanding.

Ruth was a wonderful book of hope.

I enjoyed this bible study greatly. It gave me a sense of hope and what Love our redeemer has for us. Thank you Courtney Joseph.

I have never liked the book of Ruth. I started this study much like Naomi.... Bitter! I have looked at the story of Ruth, my entire life, as this nasty woman who tricked her daughter-in-law into marrying this old relative just for her own survival. I always thought Boaz agreed because he had no wife or children and due to his age likely never would. It seemed gross and evil.

I have heard of kinsman-redeemer, but I didn't understand it. I simply thought it meant a brother or close relative marrying a woman to allow her to have a son to carry on her dead husband's name.

I never saw the connection to who Jesus is for me. Now, I'm dumbfounded! Jesus really would come just for me! I've always believed it, but now I feel as if I KNOW it is true.

I am now the Naomi, full of hope, striving to be more like Ruth, who never wavered in her belief!

[Lindsay Duffy · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was very disappointing. I had read the study on Ecclesiastes that Courtney Joseph and her mother had wrote and loved it. When I saw they had written a Bible study on Ruth, I was ecstatic. Then I started reading it. I guess her mother didn't help write much of this study. It feels very superficial and not very deep. There isn't much to be learned from this study. I'm very disappointed since I recommended this for a women's group I'm in and now we're all trudging through a basic Bible study.

[Jennifer Rainey · Rating 3 out of 5]

The best part of this book was at the end when she was teaching about Jesus being our kinsman-redeemer. I was fed more spiritually during that week or days than I was throughout the whole study. I didn’t like how she asked the questions & then, most of the time, gave the answers right after. It would’ve been best to put them at the back of the book or something. By doing them right after, it allowed for people to just read ahead rather than taking the time to read the verses.

Good, but a little boring at times.

I enjoyed this study. I recommend not getting the ebook since there are so many questions. I love the book of Ruth. I love the layout and breakdown of this book. It’s a little overwhelming at times but it keeps you on track if you stay dedicated to it. It did get a little repetitive, basic and boring at times but still a good small study.

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ve studied Ruth a couple of times in other studies. I liked the format of Courtney’s study. It was user friendly and informative. I was pleased to learn additional things about the book of Ruth that weren’t covered in other studies.

Completely disagreed with several of the authors assertions and interpretations of the text. Would not recommend.

Deeper perspective of Ruth!

[Janet Ollman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of my favorite books in the Bible, and my mother’s favorite verse is from Ruth.

I enjoyed this study! In depth but still manageable to get done each week.
