Lesson 11: Ruth and Esther (Ruth 1-4, Esther 3-9)
How many books of the Bible are named after women? For Protestants, the answer is "two, Ruth and Esther." We have them for our study this week. Why would a series of lessons on prophecy include these two books? Women are powerful prophetic religious symbols. Women are representatives of both the true church and religious powers that are evil. How do Ruth and Esther generally fit into those symbols? Let's plunge into our study of the Bible and find out!

Emotional Intelligence
Can the Bible help you get promoted at work? Can the Bible increase your pay? Can the Bible help you keep your job? Improve your marriage? The answer is “Yes!” The Bible teaches principles of “emotional intelligence” that can actually help you to be smarter and get along better. Bruce Cameron, the writer of these Bible studies and a law professor, has published a paper written for lawyers which presents 17 Bible-based rules of emotional intelligence which God gave us to improve our lives. Best of all, Professor Cameron’s paper is free and you do not have to be a lawyer to understand it. To get your free copy, first click on this link.
