Ruth : A Novel

Henderson, Lois T. - Personal Name;

Outline: Lois Henderson, one of today's finest biblical novelists, lifts the story of Ruth off the Bible's pages and into a moving drama played right before our eyes. We are taken back to Moab and Betlehem at the time of Ruth and Naomi as the author fleshes out a compelling portrait of the Moabite widow whose strength as in her gentleness, whose courage was in her humility, and whose devotion to Naomi and the God of the Israelites has come down through the ages as an inspiration to new generations. We see Ruth leaving her native land, without reluctance or regret, yet with a struggle of faith as she abandons her old religion to accept the God of Israelites, Jehovah. We share the dangerous trip from Moab to Israel and witness her encounter with a culture strange to her. And we see her grow into a strong, courageous woman, working in the fields to support herself and her mother-in-law. When Ruth meets and eventually marries Boaz, we watch closely the strained relationship between her and Boaz's eldest son. The undercurrents of conflict carry the story along swiftly and bring the familiar names to life. We are there -- watching as Ruth's faith is kindled and flourishes in her new land. The author's outstanding talent for biblical fiction adds a special color and excitement to Scripture. She fills in the details, adds dimension to the characters, and creates an enhanced version of Ruth that moves and breathes with the immediacy of contemporary biography as it portrays its heroine's faith in God, her own inner strength, and an example of courage and hope for all readers.
