A Loving Life Interactive Bible Study (Participants Manual, 2nd Ed.)

“The book of Ruth is about hesed, a loyal love, that Ruth shows to Naomi, Boaz shows to Ruth, and, behind the scenes, God demonstrates to his people. Paul Miller not only brilliantly explains the story of Ruth, but also shows how hesed love can transform us and our relationships. I highly recommend this book.”

“Once again Paul Miller uses his gifts to draw us into the middle of a Bible story. We feel as if we are walking right beside Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz. Paul uses modern day examples to help us grasp the characters’ situations, pressures, anguish, hope, and despair, and he helps us see how their hearts–and our own–respond to such stresses and to the Lord’s gracious, patient, redeeming love at work. BEWARE! This study will call you to deep–hearted worship, costly surrender, and extravagant love.”

“Paul Miller reminds us with boldness and insight that a relationship with Jesus Christ means journeying with him to the cross, where we most know of the love of God for us. As such, it is the only path to learning to incarnate that love ourselves–and so to dance to the Spirit’s constant rhythm of being loved and loving others.”

“The word ‘love’ is most often either a vague sentiment or just another four–letter word. But in Paul Miller’s interactive Bible study, the quiet, compelling reality emerges. You will witness how love is thoughtful, principled, enduring, and wise.”
