We have come to the end of the book of Ruth and it has been a cultural adventure learning about the traditions and expectations in Israel sometime between 1050 B.C. and 500 B.C.. The book shows God's providence and care for women who suffer due to the death of their husbands and sons. It also tells the story of a brave and devoted lady called Ruth ro her loved mother-in-law Naomi. Boaz, who eventually choses to be the kinsman redeemer, reflects God's love, mercy and protection in a time of need.
