Dr. Strain’s Ruth and Esther models careful exegesis, clear doctrinal thinking, and pointed practical application, all the while never failing to show how these two Old Testament books point to Christ. Whether you are teaching or preaching these books or simply want to know God’s Word better, Ruth and Esther has earned a place on your shelf.
