The Gospel of Ruth is Carolyn James’s third book and the one she claims in her forward, she was ‘born to write’. You may be familiar with her other two books: When Life and Beliefs Collide and Lost Women of the Bible. In my opinion, this is her best piece of writing yet.
When we think of the book of Ruth, we often think of a nice love story. But what you find on this book’s pages is quite different. It is the story of three different people, who converge in a powerful alliance that transforms their lives and changes the world.
