One of only two books in the Bible dedicated entirely to the story of a woman, the book of Ruth is short and powerful. It is a beauty from ashes story, beginning with such sorrow and ending with much joy. At the heart of it is a relationship between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law. In their relationship, we see the power of God at work in our pain. He does not leave us to bear it alone but journeys with us in the heartache. He gives us space to grieve, to question, to cry, and he heals our hearts bringing us to times of dancing.
