The key feature or main goal of the love story between Ruth and Boaz that I want to highlight is Ruth's loyalty to her mother in law and then, of course, the love connection between Ruth and Boaz and how that develops throughout the story.
1- I would do one story about Ruth and her mother in law (Naomi) and how they became close. In the Bible story, it does not expand too greatly on the time before Ruth decides to stay with her mother in law instead of leaving her to find a new family. I think it would be neat to focus on this aspect so that the readers know a little more of the back story and understand Ruth's character.
2- I would do one story about how Ruth and Boaz met and their first impressions of each other. I think it would be neat to hear both of their perspectives about each other, and then also the perspective of Naomi on Ruth and Boaz together.
3- I would want one story about the progression of their relationship and how it grows and develops, again including all three key perspectives.
4- Finally, I would include a wrap-up/conclusion of their love story and a "where are they now." In many Bible stories, I find myself wishing I could have seen where the key figures ended up, and so that would be something I would really like to include in my story.

I am also planning on using my own physical Bible for a lot of my research for my stories. I have my own personal notes written in my Bible, and it is a study Bible so there is extra material that I can cite and include to help understand more insight to the story.
