Ruth Audio and Video
- The story of Ruth showcases God’s provision and faithfulness in the lives of everyday people.
- See how this story of redemption points to our ultimate redeemer – Jesus Christ.
If you were a slave, who would buy your freedom? If you had an enemy, who would come to your defense? In the Old Testament, this buyer-defender known as a "kinsman - redeemer" was usually a close relative. If you're a believer, you already have one -- Jesus Christ! This rich study shows how Jesus both bought us (redeemer) and advocates (defends) for us, offering us an opportunity to rebuild our broken lives. A great short study to introduce friends to a taste of inductive Bible study.
Title also known as: Don't Despair. There's Hope. You Have a Kinsman Redeemer!

Why should I consider studying the Bible?
Bible study is a focused, investigative approach to develop a deep understanding of the Bible and grow in a relationship with God. We believe Bible study can help you understand the Bible for yourself, and we encourage you to also bring your learnings to your group (whatever that group may look like).
-
Why would I want to study a Precept Upon Precept or In & Out Study?
These studies guide you through each book of the Bible using the Precept Method. For over 50 years, we’ve heard from people around the world that this has method has helped them understand Scripture for themselves. Whether, you’ve read the Bible many times and feel you get the general principles or have struggled to keep focused on what the Bible is really saying, these books of the Bible studies will help you pour over Scripture and truly understand what God is saying in His Word.
-
What is the Precept Method? How is it different than the Inductive Method?
The Precept Method is based on the Inductive Method. If you’ve researched the “best ways to study” the Bible, you’ve likely heard that the inductive method is considered the best and most thorough way to study the Bible. The Precept Method uses tools like observing text, asking questions, and considering application just like the Inductive Method, but the Precept Method also goes a level deeper to bring in tools like prayer, specific ways to look for themes, ways to make lists to understand common central ideas or patterns, and we also use the context of Scripture to help you interpret Scripture.

-
Do I have to go at the pace outlined in the book?
The book is there to give you suggested times—if only studying two days per week feels like a better pace, that’s up to you! We encourage you to be honest with yourself and your group on how much you can do and to find a schedule that suits your needs.
-
What if I don’t have that much time available?
We understand your schedule may be limited. We recommend the following studies based on your life experience.
