Ruth: Romance and Redemption
When you think of great romance stories titles like "Gone with the Wind," "Pride and Prejudice," or "The Notebook" come to mind.

The short story of Ruth is not only a great romance, but it is also a window into the heart of God. This four part series journies with Ruth from Moab to Bethlehem, from being a widow to being the beloved of Boaz, from being destitute and impoverished to being included in the Messianic line. You will see the way the book of Ruth prefigures the Gospel and the love that Christ has for his Gentile bride, the Church.
