The book of Ruth can be found in the Old Testament, the eighth book in.

There are only two books titled in the Bible with women's names: Ruth and Esther.

Both books are adult fairy tales. They're about women with nothing but the desire to help family rise to the top.

The story of Ruth is about a widow who follows Naomi, her mother-in-law, to her home town selflessly.

Ruth works hard to take care of Naomi, and it isn't long before she is 'seen' by a wealthy landowner.

The book of Ruth quickly becomes a great love story with all the qualities that make you smile and once again believe in many kinds of love.

A story about family responsibility, not of obligation, but of love.

Throughout the book, I will first give you the complete chapter from the Bible. I will use the English Standard Version (ESV) interpretation of scripture throughout the story.

Right after that will be the RevDeb version. In this part, I will break down the scripture and explain what is happening in the story and my Mississippi interpretation of it.

Here is the first chapter.

Read it through and then head down to the RevDeb version.

I will wait for you there.

Let's get started.
