Ruth is a beautiful, small book found in the Old Testament. It tells the story of how God brings two women, Naomi and Ruth, from famine to fullness. It also tells us about the ancestors of King David. Many powerful themes of the Bible are found in Ruth, such as loss, death, redemption, and restoration. By showing how God brings goodness to ordinary people in hard situations, it tells us about God’s kindness to his people. And by telling us about the extraordinary birth of King David’s grandfather, it foreshadows the birth of the true King, the Son of David, Jesus.
