God’s Lovingkindness in the Book of Ruth

A 6-week Bible Study with Video Access


In this six-week Bible study, Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young invites us to view the book of Ruth as more than a Hallmark-tinted story, but rather as a story that proclaims God’s heart for the vulnerable, including widows, orphans, immigrants, refugees, and the poor. As Ruth’s story unfolds, we discover that God is the main character and that he is the true Redeemer, for Ruth and for us today.

A Different Kind of Love Story

The story of Ruth is usually viewed through a Hallmark-tinted lens: girl suffers hardship, girl overcomes hardship, boy meets girl, they fall in love, and then everyone lives happily ever after.

But there’s so much more to Ruth’s story!

Bible teacher and retreat leader Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young invites us to view the book of Ruth through a different lens—one that helps us recognize how this story proclaims God’s heart for the vulnerable, including widows, orphans, immigrants, refugees, and the poor. As Ruth’s story unfolds, we discover that God is the main character and that he is the true Redeemer, for Ruth and for us today. This six-week Bible study features

"Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young doesn't shy away from the tough questions and tender emotions we experience when the road of life takes us in a direction that we never planned to go. As a fellow sojourner, Dorina has experienced the greatest loss. However, her grace-filled words are a testimony to how she has received God's lovingkindness in the most beautiful ways. In Redeemer, Dorina weaves a six-week, Scripture-rich study with an intersection of strong Biblical scholarship, well-researched culture insights, and faith-filled lessons learned along her faith journey with God."
