Esther and Ruth both leave where they live to go to an unknown place, and become a part of God’s plan. Esther was a Jewish orphan being raised in Persia, while Ruth was a widow living with her mother-in-law. Not literal locations, but rather, families, nations, groups.

In your notebook, journal about how Esther and Ruth both come from small places. Put these activities and journals into your notebook under the heading “Day Two”.

Esther is in the first three, and Ruth in the last three. How does Esther’s simple, kind-hearted nature reflect Ruth’s? Do the two share the same humble traits? Write down their character traits in two columns, and why or why not you think they act similarly.ĭraw Esther and Ruth together, in any appropriate pose or design you would like Below are a few images I found that you may like to base yours off of. Journal everything you want under a heading titled “Day One”. Keep your notebook handy to record any thoughts you have.

🙂 So, without further ado, I present: Ruth & Esther: Two Stories in One! Day One: It’s super simple and doesn’t take more than 5 days to complete, and I think it’s pretty cool. As I finish up my Esther bible study, I am introducing a different take on it: I m combining Ruth and Esther together to form a comparison study! This is a lens to look at the stories through, with activities and journalling opportunities throughout.
