★★★★★ "David beautifully illuminates Ruth’s story. Even though the mystery of God’s presence isn’t always self-evident in its silence, He’s always there.

★★★★★ “Thank you, David, for showing me through The Ordinary Ways of God that God is always in the ordinary and can do extraordinary things in our everyday walk with God.

★★★★★ “Ruth is my favorite book in the Bible. I have read and studied it numerous times. It wasn’t until The Ordinary Ways of God that I fully understood why.

As we discover in the Book of Ruth, God cares for us in ways beyond our understanding. We can often look back over our lives and discover how God guided us. We can see into our past and realize that He has been walking with us...or just ahead of us...leading us into His perfect will.

The characters in the Book of Ruth discover this. The God that Naomi knew and the God Ruth came to know, and the God that Boaz always served--that God was always with them...though when they knew it not! This God does not control us like a puppet but guides us with His strong, gentle, and invisible hand. We learn that we do not need big miracles of biblical proportion to assure us of His presence. Instead, we find Him in our day-to-day life. This is the ordinary way of God!
