Ruth and Esther were two ordinary women who lived six hundred years apart and played a decisive role in God's divine plan for all mankind. While inspiring believers that they, too, can live a more righteous life while serving the Lord, Ruth and Esther exemplify what He wishes to see in all humankind-a life of humility, loyalty, compassion, and especially love. Through their example, Ruth and Esther teach us to be humble servants of the Lord, and when we are, He will bless us. In a comprehensive study shared to inspire believers to place their trust in the Lord, Robert Wittenberg explores the lives and experiences of these two influential women. Ruth, a Gentile who converted to Judaism, lived with Jews and married a Jew. Through her lineage, came King David and Christ Jesus. Esther, a Hebrew, lived with Gentiles and married a Gentile that God used to preserve the Jewish nation, protecting the lineage through which Christ Jesus came. Included is a list of twenty other righteous women of the Bible that contains brief descriptions and reference verses. Righteous Women of the Bible is a fascinating study of the books of Ruth and Esther, two ordinary women empowered by God to perform the extraordinary.
