EVE
32 Pins

RUTH
31 Pins
RUTH / Even thirty-two centuries later, Ruth's shining example of boldness and faithfulness still blows us away. Yet the book of Ruth isn’t about her, not at the core.

To restore what was lost, to redeem what was squandered, to revive what was dead and buried, to make everything new. Her Story: The Book of Ruth Her Color: Earth Brown
SAPPHIRA
26 Pins

POTIPHAR'S WIFE
