See What God Will Do When You Trust Him
Can trusting God change the world? Ruth and Esther, two young women who lived 600 years apart, would both say Yes. Living in dark days, ruled by oppressive regimes, their small but significant faithfulness would play a decisive role in God's bigger plan. Ruth chose to leave her family, face hardship, and trust God, without knowing what would happen to her. Esther chose to risk her life, confront the king, and trust God, even if it cost her her life. Today, their stories still inspire believers to see what God will do when they trust Him.

RUTH & ESTHER. Is God really sovereign? Can individual people make a difference in His world? A young girl named Ruth and a middle-aged man named Boaz answer yes to both questions in the violent days of Israel's judges-and the couple goes on to play a crucial part in God's plan. Over 600 years later, a Jew named Mordecai and his cousin Esther save their nation by also saying yes. Today these stories still inspire believers to affect the world by trusting God.
