Summer Study in the Book of Ruth - Part of My Growth Plan

You may remember earlier this summer, I encouraged making a plan for summer growth. Did you discover things in your study of God's word this summer?

 
I'd love to hear about your plan. How did you grow in your faith this summer?

I began reading the Book of Ruth. I read and re-read. I studied. I underlined. I made lists...

Ruth's story has always been a favorite - It's a love story, really. Who doesn't like a good love story?

After losing her husband and two sons, Naomi returns to Bethlehem (House of Bread) with her daughter-in-law, Ruth. They arrive at the beginning of the barley harvest. Without her husband, Naomi is destitute. Without children, Ruth is without a future.
