The Book of Ruth is an Old Testament book filled with powerful lessons of hope.

Listen to Adrian Rogers.

The Book of Ruth was written in dark days.

I believe we're living in a dark day, but I refuse to despair as long as there's a God in the glory.

And books like the Book of Ruth tell us that no matter how dark the day, there's always the star

of hope in that dark sky. This is bright hope for dark days. Welcome to Love Worth Finding,

featuring the biblical and dynamic teaching of pastor and author Adrian Rogers. Today we're

beginning our series Redeeming Love, which tells the story of Ruth and Boas.

In the midst of some of the darkest days recorded in Scripture, we are given a love story.

Ruth's love story, one which counts for all of eternity.

This book is a beautiful example of how decisions determine destiny.

If you have your Bible, turn now to Ruth Chapter 1.

With part one of its decision that determines destiny, here again is Adrian Rogers.

The book of Ruth is a wonderful book.

It is a love story, but it is a true love story. It is not a romance novel.

It is true. And we all love, love. We all love, love stories. I heard of some girls who were in the college dorm at the Christian college,

and they were praying in their vespers, and they were praying, Lord, give us pure hearts,

Lord, give us clean hearts, Lord give us sweethearts. And all the girls said, amen.

We love a love story.

And this is a love story, but it is a unique story, the book of Ruth.

It's one of two books in the Bible that bear the names of women,

the book of Ruth and the book of Esther.
