The book of Ruth is a wonderful narrative that shows how God works his plans in sovereign ways with those who choose to follow him unconditionally. In the Hebrew Bible, the book of Ruth is considered an addendum to the book of Proverbs which ends with a description of a "virtuous woman" or a "wife of noble character." In this unusual love story, Boaz comes to call Ruth "a woman of noble character" in Ruth 3:11, the only other place in the Bible where this term is used.
Follow the story of Ruth with us as we study this remarkable book describing how she as a Moabite woman chose to follow and trust God in extremely difficult circumstances. Ruth, a foreigner by birth, followed the Lord and became part of the lineage of the house of David in the line of Jesus, our Messiah.
