Ruth:  Don’t Despair. There’s Hope.  You Have a Kinsman Redeemer (4 weeks) by Kay Arthur, a Precept Upon Precept (PUP) study.  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 was known as a “Kinsman – redeemer,” and was usually a close relative.  If you are 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.  For additional information and directions to study, please contact Casie at deruvos@hotmail.com .  A new study, I Samuel:  God’s Search for a Man after His Own Heart, a Precept Upon Precept (PUP) study will begin immediately following Ruth.
