Ruth's Promise: a Kids Bible Story from Ruth About Loyalty, Kindness, and Keeping Promise. KJV Verses Included. Ages 3-8

Everybody else went home. Ruth stayed.The book of Ruth is small and quiet, and it sits right after the loudest book in the Old Testament. It is a story about a young woman who made a promise to an older woman who had nothing left to give her, and then kept it.Ruth's Promise retells the book of Ruth for children ages 3 to 8, in short warm lines a preschooler can follow and a new reader can read alone. Naomi loses everything and tells her sons' wives to go back home. Ruth will not go. She walks to a strange country, works in a hot barley field to feed them both, and is treated with kindness by a man named Boaz.Inside this book: - 14 full-page illustrations in a soft, gentle storybook style- A King James Version verse set apart to read together- A "Where Are We in the Bible?" page showing where Ruth sits in the 66- Three takeaways, three questions, and six words to know- A short prayer, four lines long- A Read It Yourself page of KJV passages for ages 8 to 12Children meet loyalty in a form they can actually see: staying when leaving would be easier, gathering grain for somebody else, and a stranger who leaves extra on purpose. The gleaning laws from Leviticus quietly come alive in a barley field, and a family that had nothing ends up with a baby, a home, and a place in the family line of a king.Book 8 of 66 in KJV Bible Adventures for Kids.
