Reformed Expository Bible Study - Esther & Ruth: The Lord Delivers and Redeems
ISBN: 9781629957586The Old Testament narratives of Esther and Ruth feature women and men who act boldly and ultimately receive God's blessing. So does God help those who help themselves? Actually, he helps those who don't deserve it! See how our gracious God rescues his own and prepares them for Christ's coming.
This Reformed Expository Bible Study gives groups and individuals thirteen lessons that focus on observing and understanding the text-making connections to the rest of the Bible and to Reformed theology. Lessons close with personal application and a prayer prompt.
This Reformed Expository Bible Study is designed for personal and group use. Each lesson connects to the rest of the Bible and holds to the same standards as the Reformed Expository Commentary series: a high view of Scripture; a Christ-centered focus; a Reformed theological basis; and an emphasis on personal application and prayer.
