This book explains the Book of Ruth with related scriptures and retellings of her story in thoughtful circumstances. Author Jorge Vasquez places Ruth in different and interesting situations to deepen your awareness of biblical themes, values and last, but not least, Ruth. This both reveals Dr. Vasquez's knowledge of the subject and his ability to think critically to make Ruth a character easy to connect with. He brings into account Ruth's character and nature as he includes new insights from the Old Testament and creates impactful stories to uplift and inspire you. Through his unconventional interpretation, he connects the story with socio-political themes and has an uncanny ability to empathize with Ruth, despite the gender difference.
