Ruth & 1 Samuel: A Women's Bible Study (Rooted In The Word Guides) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798263967635)

Can God really bring beauty out of brokenness?

Ruth: From Bitter to Blessed is part of the Rooted in the Word Guides series-Bible-first, theology-rich, and discipleship-driven studies designed for real growth.

This 8-week study walks through the book of Ruth and the opening chapters of 1 Samuel (Hannah's prayer and Samuel's call). These stories reveal God's providence, faithful love (ḥesed), and redemptive plan-even in the darkest of days.

From Naomi's bitterness to Ruth's loyalty, from Boaz's redemption to Hannah's answered prayer, this study helps you see how God works through ordinary people and everyday faithfulness to accomplish His extraordinary purposes.

Each week includes:

• A key verse and big idea to anchor the lesson

• Read the Word prompts for slow, careful study

• Learn the Word reflection questions for personal or group use

• A Theology Focus that unpacks core truths about God, redemption, and providence

• Live It Out steps for personal growth, prayer, church connection, and weekly challenges

With themes of loss, loyalty, providence, prayer, and redemption, Ruth: From Bitter to Blessed helps you discover God's faithful hand in your own story.

Perfect for small groups, one-on-one discipleship, couples, or personal study, this guide will deepen your confidence in God's providence and point you to Jesus-our true Redeemer.
