In this retelling of the story of Ruth, Elizabeth Ruth Obbard revisits key moments in the text--moments that are echoed in every human life: bereavement, friendship, the struggle for survival, joy, life-changing decisions. With historical and cultural insights that illumine the text, this book offers an opportunity to see the Scriptural truth in our own lives and to value the sanctity and depth of each human life. Each chapter ends with a prayer to help bring to life the insight that personal human love is the root of all that is good.
