About Ruth

The Book of Ruth unfolds in the warm, dusty rhythms of harvest time, a widowed young woman who chose her mother-in-law's people and her mother-in-law's God over the comfort of her own homeland. Ruth's vow, "where you go I will go," rings through centuries as one of the most tender pledges ever spoken. In the fields of Boaz, her quiet faithfulness was noticed, and a story of loss became one of the most beloved of redemption.
