Studying the Book of Ruth
Inspired by God, scholars point to the Prophet Samuel as the possible writer. “Penned” between 1011 and 931 B.C., this historical account of Boaz’s and Ruth’s marriage points beautifully to the sovereignty of God and His Redemptive plan (the Gospel).

Gospel-Driven Friendship: Scripture w/ Quotes by Bonhoeffer
Gals, Gospel-Driven friendships are unique. Counter-cultural, actually! Instead of dining at the table of self-focus, we remind one another of the cross.
