As the only two books to bear women's names, Ruth and Esther are unique in the Bible. They are also part of a minority of biblical books in which God does not directly speak or make overt appearances but works behind the scenes, through faithful followers, to communicate the will and love of God. Ruth and Esther tell very different stories, but they share in common a few key themes that are important for Christians today, including: the sovereignty of God; the ability of God to provide; the radical and inclusive love of God; and the way God's followers can love God by loving neighbor and, by loving neighbor, reveal God's love to the world. Journey through the uncommon lives of Ruth and Esther in order to find your own place in the story of God.
A faithful reading of God's Word leads to a faithful response from God's people. The Shaped by Scripture series teaches a simple, engaging method of studying the Bible that will lead to honest interpretation and a changed relationship with God.
