Publisher's Synopsis
The Book of Ruth is not a random romantic story, but a significant look at the sovereignty of God and His plan of redemption for all people within the world. It also contains interesting character studies of the main people-Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz. The Mosaic Law and history of Israel give prophetic insight to make the history of the Bible relevant to our own time. Ruth provides a sort of "God's-eye view" into the history of Israel and the world.Ruth is on a journey. She did not realize as a little girl growing up in the far off country of Moab, on the eastern side of the Dead Sea, that someday you and I would be reading her story, a journey not just from one country to another but from one "set of gods" to the One True Living God! As her story of loving-kindness and care becomes ours, we are treated to a true love story; a love for family, a love for God, and a love for His wonderful ways.This devotional will capture your attention and invite you along this journey as well. You will see, like Ruth, that it is the One True Living God, Yahweh, who guides us through the most challenging circumstances of life only for us to find out that it is His will, all along, that helps us to walk in that same loving-kindness and care.
