Ruth - Teen Girls' Bible Study Book: Love, Loss & Legacy

by Kelly Minter

UNBEARABLE LOSS, REDEEMING LOVE, AND DIVINE LEGACY Most of us like a good rags-to-riches story, especially one that includes a bit of intrigue and a moving tale of love. We can easily get lost in a narrative of heartache that is soon to be replaced by joy. And perhaps we’re drawn to these tales because they not only provide an escape, but hope. The story of Ruth affirms that yes, there is hope. However, it’s not found in a happy ending scribed by a novelist’s pen, but in the power and protection of a sovereign God who never takes His eyes off of us. In this seven-session study, we’ll examine Ruth’s journey and discover how God proves Himself faithful as the One who rescues, revives, and restores.

Loss, Love & Legacy - Teen Girls' Bible Study Bookis a Bible study for teen girls that traces Ruth's journey of unbearable loss, redeeming love, and divine legacy. This 7-session study delves into the virtuous character of Ruth, her unique relationship with her mother-in-law, Naomi, and her blossoming love with Boaz. If you've ever felt devastated, struggled as a stranger, longed to be loved, or wept along the way, you'll find a loyal sister in Ruth.
