A Home Built By God Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 26, 2020

One could imagine the book of Ruth ending with - "They lived happily ever after." However, this account is not a children's story of fairy tale. In fact, it is part of the scarlet thread that runs through the Old Testament, leading to the birth of our Savior.

Most of them begin with “Once upon a time” and end with “Happily ever-after.” The book of Ruth ...read more
