Ruth: Redemption for the Broken can be adapted for one-to-one discipleship, small group, or large group settings. The comprehensive leader's guide is included in the text, making it an easy-to-follow structure to engage men and women.   By studying the book of Ruth, readers can enjoy the romance and drama of this compelling story while understanding how it applies to their own lives—finding Christ's undying love for them through this unforgettable biblical narrative.   Jesus is the \"truer and better \" of every character in the book of Ruth, and everything in the Bible points to him. Wilson anchors his message in Scripture, guiding readers to better understand the themes in the book of Ruth.   When everything falls apart, cling to Jesus, the one who clings to you. Find in the story of Ruth the start of a real love story—but probably not the one you think. Ruth reveals the truth that there are no sinners, no failures, and no victims so far gone that the sovereign hand of the Lord cannot reach, rescue, and even revise the story of their lives.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420160831861,"sku":"9781948130936","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"9780310155768","title":"Lest We Drift","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"If you are in ministry, this book is a must-read for you and your ministry team—not just once, but once a year.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e –Paul David Tripp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do we keep from drifting away from what makes us who we are?
