Boaz – the unsung hero in the book of Ruth
I love the book of Ruth. The story of a daughter-in-law who, against all odds and tough circumstances, stuck with her mother-in-law. Even though their husbands had both died, Ruth had found a changed life through God with her in-laws, and she had no desire to go back to her own family and her old …
