Why are certain words, names, and ideas repeated?
What would the original audience have understood that we might miss today?
How does this story connect to the larger story God is telling throughout Scripture?
And what does it reveal about God Himself?
You don't need to be a Bible scholar to go deeper.
For years, I loved the Book of Ruth, but when I began digging beneath the familiar story, I discovered layers I had never seen before.
Historical context, literary patterns, names, customs, and connections across Scripture began revealing a much bigger story. And the deeper I went, the more I discovered that Ruth wasn't simply teaching me about redemption. It was teaching me about the God who redeems.
That discovery changed the way I read Ruth and the way I understood some of the seasons in my own life. Now, I want to help you see what I found.
In Unlocking the Ruth Code, I’ll guide you beneath the surface of this familiar story, help you connect the pieces you may have never noticed, and show you how they point again and again to one life-changing truth: My God is King.
And when you begin to see Him as King, it changes the way you see the story, including your own.
