Leaving her homeland and her people far behind, Ruth, a young Moabite widow, journeyed to Bethlehem with her mother-in-law, Naomi. Arriving in the midst of the barley harvest, Ruth found sustenance in the fields of Boaz, her kinsman redeemer. Could the followers of Yahweh's law accept a foreigner in their midst? And would Naomi's bitterness because of her own tragedies overshadow them all? Challenged by harsh prejudice while struggling with her own sorrows, Ruth's journey of faith brought new life filled with hope, redemption, and love.
