Journaling the Word: Ruth & Esther pairs the full text of the books of Ruth and Esther with spacious journaling pages, inviting readers to engage two narratives that highlight God’s providence, faithfulness, and care for His people in uncertain circumstances.
Ruth tells a quiet story of loyalty, redemption, and covenant faithfulness lived out through ordinary obedience, while Esther records God’s preservation of His people through courage, wisdom, and decisive action in the midst of political danger. Together, these books reveal how God is at work both openly and behind the scenes to accomplish His purposes.
This volume invites readers to slow down in the text—recording observations, prayers, questions, and insights as they reflect on faithfulness, courage, loyalty, and God’s guiding hand in times of vulnerability and risk. Writing alongside the text provides space to consider how trust in God is expressed through everyday faithfulness as well as bold, timely action.
Designed as a Scripture-first journal, this book contains no commentary or guided prompts. Instead, it provides room for personal engagement with the biblical text, allowing your notes to grow alongside your understanding over time.
Journaling the Word: Ruth & Esther is well suited for personal Bible study, teaching preparation, homeschool use, or anyone seeking thoughtful engagement with Scripture while keeping God’s Word central.
Readers who plan to return to these journals over many years may prefer the durability of the hardcover edition.
