Ruth For You

Tony Merida is Pastor for Preaching and Vision of Imago Dei Church, Raleigh, NC and a Council member of The Gospel Coalition. He is the author of a number of books, including Love Your Church, Ruth For You, The Christ-Centered Expositor, and Ordinary. He and his wife, Kimberly, have five adopted children.

The story of Ruth is now a story that I want to revisit every advent season. It’s a beautiful picture that points us to our beautiful Savior. This commentary has helped me make that connection. And it has helped me see more of Jesus. -- Aaron Lee (Editorial Curator, SOLA Network)

Merida shows himself to be more than competent in rightly handling the Word of God. He is a pastor who peaches regularly and has written multiple commentaries, so he has certainly proven himself able to write for this series. -- Matt Cover

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource. -- Michael J. Kruger (President and Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina)

The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use. -- Tim Chester (Crosslands Training; Author of Enjoying God)

The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and  apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world! -- Gary Millar (Principal, Queensland Theological College, Australia; author of Saving Eutychus)

The Good Book Guides are a fantastic resource for small-groups and personal study. I've used many of them myself. For a busy small-group leader, or a Christian looking for refreshment in his or her devotional life, these come so highly recommended. -- Sam Allberry (Pastor at Immanuel Church, Nashville; author of Is God Anti-Gay? and What Does God Have to Say About Our Bodies?)
