About this title

Review

The small book of Ruth, tucked in between the book of Judges and I Samuel, shines like a beacon, illuminating the dark historical narrative of sin and rebellion with a story of romantic love and God s merciful sovereignty. This pamphlet, colorfully illustrated and written in a free-flowing style, presents this story of a foreign peasant woman with sensitivity to her vulnerable situation as childless widow. The reader will be well educated in the nuances of Hebrew culture and language as well as the wonder of God s mercy in the life of Ruth and the history of God s chosen people. Young adults will do well to read this narrative to comprehend the devotion that provides the foundation of a godly marriage. The example of the gentility of Boaz, a man of means and flawless integrity, should be imitated by young men and their mentors. Women of all ages will be emotionally and spiritually enriched by this romance that boasts a higher moral than what can be found in soap operas. --Dave Barkey, Retired Pastor, Team Rose Representative

This pamphlet reminded me of the relationship between foreigners and Israelites as well as the low status of women during the time of Ruth. What a great reminder of God's provision for us in whatever circumstances we are in. We just need to be faithful to Him. This would be great for a young ladies study group. --Bonnie Rumphol, Team Rose Representative

Ruth is beautifully written and designed pamphlet. It goes beyond a simple Bible Study of the book of Ruth, and it is written in such a way that anyone can understand and grasp the rich themes in it. I personally enjoyed learning the meanings of the names. It puts a different light on the beginning of the story. The story of Ruth should give hope to those who are going through difficult times. It also should appeal to the romantic. --Cindi Weber, Team Rose Representative
