From Sweet To Bitter

Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Apr 13, 2011

Though this book is, for the most part, about the main character (Ruth), let us also observe how this story unfolds for a second character, another woman named Naomi – Ruth’s mother-in-law. We shall look at four reasons why Naomi went from sweet to bitter

Intro: The Book of Ruth is rich in interesting paradoxes. It opens with a terrible famine and closes with a great feast. It begins with three sad funerals and ends with one happy wedding. In it we see some excellent examples of faith, patience, humility, industry, and kindness in the common events ...read more

But it is extremely important to find answers to the question. If I were to ask for a show of hands this morning, how many ...read more
