finding hope in the legacy of Ruth

"Uses the biblical book of Ruth to show women how the most painful times in life can be the most pivotal, propelling them into a destiny they'd never imagined"--, Provided by publisherBy allowing God to transform her circumstances, Ruth went from a widow who would be excluded from society to a wife with a secure and protected future, a future that ultimately paved the way for the birth of King David. Her story is full of loss, heartache, poverty, even shame-- but she never let her past define her. Instead, the most painful time of her life became her most pivotal, propelling her to a destiny she never imagined. Perhaps you have a past you're struggling to overcome. Follow Ruth's life and discover the hope available to each of us. Your yesterday does not have to dictate your tomorrow
