Ruth, Ezra, Nehemiah & Esther Word Quest

Description

Ruth, Ezra, Nehemiah & Esther Word Quest explores four Old Testament books through 80 large-print word search puzzles with companion text. Arranged in biblical order, the puzzles take readers from the barley fields of Bethlehem to the rebuilt temple and walls of Jerusalem and the royal court of Persia.

In Ruth, a Moabite widow stays with Naomi, gleans in the fields of Boaz, and becomes part of the family line of David. Her story explores loyalty, kindness, and the responsibilities of a kinsman. Ezra follows the return from Babylonian exile after the decree of Cyrus, the rebuilding of the temple despite opposition, and Ezra’s commitment to studying, keeping, and teaching the law of God.

In Nehemiah, the king’s cupbearer leads the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls despite threats and opposition. The public reading of the law calls the people to renew their commitment to God. In Esther, Mordecai urges the queen to act when Haman plots to destroy the Jewish people. Esther risks approaching King Ahasuerus, and the people’s deliverance is remembered in the Feast of Purim.

Each puzzle contains 15 words drawn from its referenced King James Version (KJV) passage. An educational companion insert explains the passage’s historical context and theological meaning, connecting the vocabulary to the people, events, and themes in the text.
