Ruth and Esther: A 12-Week Study (Paperback) by Kathleen Nielson, J I Packer, Lane T Dennis and Dane Ortlund

The books of Ruth and Esther recount two of the most moving stories in all of Scripture: Ruth, a displaced widow in search of a new home and loving husband, and Esther, a courageous queen intent on saving her people from imminent destruction.

This guide explains the biblical text with clarity and passion—leading us on a journey to discover the God who hears the cries of his people and remains faithful to his promises.

Over the course of 12 weeks, these studies explore books of the Bible and:

Ask thoughtful questions to spur discussion
Show how each passage unveils the gospel
Tie the text in with the whole story of Scripture
Illuminate the doctrines taught in each passage
Invite you to discover practical implications
Help you better understand and apply God’s Word
