A short book about a foreign widow. Three deaths. A dirt road. A vow no one expected. Where you go, I will go. And the family line of Christ grew out of it.

In this letter

- Setting the book of Ruth — four chapters, the period of the judges

- A slow read of Ruth 1 (NKJV)

- The setup — famine in Bethlehem, the move to Moab, the three deaths

- The dirt road and the kiss goodbye

- The famous vow — Entreat me not to leave you

- Naomi renaming herself Mara (bitter)

Scripture

- Ruth 1

Coming tomorrow | The Sender. The outsider in the family tree of David.
