Description:
Courtney and Jenny haven't been attending Connie's Bible study lately, and Connie wants to know why. The girls tell her that the Bible seems to be full of exciting, action-filled adventures about men, but hardly anything about women. So Connie narrates one of the greatest and most romantic stories ever written: She tells the biblical story of a young maiden named Ruth, and how her loyalty to her mother-in-law and her love for the Lord God made her the great-grandmother of King David and a part of the lineage of the king of kings, Jesus. The story continues in part II...
