Discussion Guides

Midwest Food Bank and Ruth have partnered together to provide free discussion guides. Use them with your small groups as you watch the production of Ruth.

The Small Group Discussion Guide is distinctly Christian in nature and designed for church small groups, Bible studies or family devotions. The Musical Themes Discussion Guide is designed for groups wanting to discuss the musical composition and artistic performance.

The story of Ruth is the narrative of a love story, showing family loyalty and incredible faith in times of trial. It is a compelling story about a Moabite woman who was redeemed into a Hebrew family.
