The book of Judges demonstrates the chaos that arises when sin reigns in people's hearts, and the book of Ruth follows it with a message of redemption and hope after disorder.

Set in a time when everyone did what was right in his own eyes, the two books work together to show God's faithfulness in the middle of Israel's disobedience. Barry G. Webb works through Gideon, Samson, Naomi and Ruth, and keeps returning to the ways God protected and preserved a people who had largely stopped wanting him. Expositional and aimed at the preacher.
