David Strain has blessed both pastor and congregant by writing this volume on Ruth and Esther. Here is a commentary that exudes pastoral wisdom and heart–directed application flowing from thorough biblical exegesis and theological precision. As these pages are read, the student of Scripture should expect to witness the Lord’s work, not only in the lives of Ruth and Esther, but also in their own.

One of the positives in our current culture is a rediscovery of the value of story.  David Strain unpacks the stories of two young girls whose lives and experiences illustrate the purpose of providence.  If you ever wonder why you are where you are in life, Ruth and Esther will give you food for thought.
