The Gospel of Ruth: Loving God Enough to Break the Rules by Carolyn Custis James
I am a missionary with a degree in intercultural studies and 20+ years
of walking with the Lord, and this book literally took the legs out from
beneath me. Wow! Why haven't I heard this stuff before? I checked out
the bibliography page, and this author did her homework. As a student of
cultures, the whole time I was thinking "well, duh! Of course. That
makes so much sense." I did not agree completely with every conclusion
that she drew from the data, but was certainly intrigued and spiritually
challenged. I can honestly say that my view of the book of Ruth is
forever changed after reading this book. I am so glad that I read it and
have encouraged many of my friends and family to do the same.
