Official synopsis Publisher
Does God help those who help themselves? That may seem to be the message of Esther and Ruth. Yet a closer reading shows a gracious and sovereign God at work, one who uses obviously flawed people–unable even to help themselves–to rescue his people and prepare for the coming of Christ.
