The biblical story of Ruth is retold in modern times.

​

​

​

It is a tale of love, faith, and the journey of two women to

find their new life and family while trusting God.

Naomi, having lost her two sons and husband, felt burdened to care for her two widowed daughters-in-law.  She tells her daughters to leave her and find new husbands. But Ruth stayed with her while Orpah left to return to her family. Both women return to Bethlehem to find their nearest relative, Boaz, a wealthy businessman.  Ruth ends up working for Boaz, and he gives her extra provisions to bring home to Naomi.  Being older than Ruth, Boaz did not think she would be interested in him and treated her like a daughter.  But Naomi realizes Boaz is her kinsman.  She then guides Ruth to propose to Boaz by lying at his feet, a courageous act that was a tradition well understood by her people. Boaz must do the right thing before he can claim her hand in marriage.  Eventually, Boaz marries Ruth and conceives a son, Obed—lineage to Jesus.  Ruth, a Moabite woman, was grafted into God’s kingdom by faith.  

A DEMONSTRATION OF LOVE AND FAITH IN ACTION

TO TRUST GOD DESPITE ONE’S CIRCUMSTANCES.​​​

A happy ending for a bitter mother-in-law: a new lease on life and a grandson, a descendant of Jesus.
