Customer Reviews

Ruth and Boaz. Enough said.

"Even if your heart is not in it,"..."God knows. He understands why sacrifice is so hard for you-for all of us, really, for isn't that why it is called a sacrifice? If it was an easy thing to give our best-the best of our flock, the first of our harvest, not knowing if there will be more-and to give our thanks when we are not thankful, then where would the sacrifice be?" Redeeming Grace is a fictional account of the TRUE account of Ruth from the Bible. I've always loved her history, and this book did not disappoint. It sucked me in from page one. It also caused me to consider that Boaz had been married before Ruth. Something I'd never even THOUGHT about. Why had that not occurred to me before? If you love Biblical fiction-or even if you don't, this is a book that's well worth reading.
