The Gospel of Ruth (ePub)

The book of Ruth represents a beautiful biblical epic which meets all the conditions of a twenty-first-century best-seller. Anyone who takes the time to read it will be charmed by its literary merit. It considers extraordinary themes of tragedy, love, patriotism, passion, emotions, and conflicts. From a biblical standpoint, this book presents an ideal canvas for believers of all ages. It allows them to remember that the Most High controls the destiny of all those who "take refuge under the wings of the God of Israel." Any reader of the Bible will also be pleasantly surprised to discover this little-known jewel. Its precious pearls are hidden only in four chapters. It is surprisingly rich in its literary and simplistic style, its rhythm and fluidity. It reflects a certain time, its people, their customs, and their values. This book, while short and sweet, is a loaded one catering to almost everyone. The reader is invited to slowly peruse these chapters and revel in all the peasant charm of the world of the Near East world of antiquity.

In this version, the author has taken the liberty to fill in details of the picture in order to portray the tapestry of the story in full technicolor. It is a contemporary perspective of an old story. We hope you find this tale novel refreshing as retold in mostly dialogue but still in line with the biblical text.

Enjoy it!

Happy reading!
