Ruth and Esther are two prophetic pictures of the same gospel. One speaks of a last-minute rescue from death, the other of a long-awaited filling of a terrible emptiness. One ends with a baby; the other concludes with an annual remembrance of an amazing escape. But neither really ends, until they find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Teaching Ruth and Esther offers an in-depth look at the themes and message presented through the stories of these two influential and relevant Bible women. Designed specifically to assist pastors, preachers, small group leaders, and youth leaders as they prepare and present Bible studies. In addition, Teaching Ruth and Esther is part of the popular Christian Focus Publications' Teaching series that offers practical guidance through relevant study questions, prominent teaching points, and applications.
