Boaz is an example of biblical manhood, demonstrating gentle care, firm protection, and intentional responsibility. His example calls us to follow our Savior's example and sacrificially care for those God has entrusted to us.
The gospels give us a powerful story of a desperate dad that can encourage us as we encounter desperation of our own in parenting.
