Although Ruth struggled with schoolwork and homesickness, she was sent to boarding school at age fourteen to complete her high school education.While there, she begged God and her family to bring her home, but neither responded in the way she had hoped. Crushed and heartbroken, Ruth suffered a crisis of faith. Listen to discover how Ruth’s older sister, Rosa, encouraged her and how that encouragement became a cornerstone of Ruth’s walk with the Lord.Resources:An Odd Cross to Bear: A Biography of Ruth Bell Graham by Anne Blue WillsRuth, A Portrait: The Story of Ruth Bell Graham by Patricia Cornwell
