A Blessed Alliance: Naomi and Ruth - Gladstone

Jul 24, 2022    Kayla Meredith

The words of commitment Ruth proclaims when deciding to follow her mother-in-law's God came at one of the worst of times — after a series of devastating losses. Ruth chooses to leave her family, culture, and whole life behind to become an immigrant in a foreign land out of her desire to care for her ex-mother-in-law. This blessed alliance of Ruth and Naomi is an empowering story of how they conspire for their survival, love one another, and find hope. In the story of Ruth, human beings become their best selves and as a result of Ruth being welcomed into the community, we all benefit.
