This Ruth

Description

The title This Ruth is based on the question of Boaz, “Whose damsel is this?” (Ruth 2:5). Ruth is the name of one of the most delightful books in the Old Testament. Remarkable for its brevity, its eighty-five verses are easily read in twenty minutes. Precious for its deep unfolding of the Person of Christ, the mysteries of redemption, and the future of Israel, the charming and beautifully written story is both simple and sublime—a gem of literature and a veritable wonder of language.
Apart from its literary excellence, historical importance, typical import, prophetic pictures and doctrinal shadows, the story of Ruth is rich in moral and spiritual lessons.
If there is one lesson above another in the spiritual life that the book of Ruth teaches, it is the emphasis placed upon the results of placing full confidence and trust in God. When life’s greatest choice came to Ruth, she abandoned all past interests, choosing God as her God, and His people as her people.
Mr. Paisley writes with insight and tenderness. He brilliantly expounds and lifts the readers spirit in the remarkable work.

“In preparation for leading a women’s bible study on the book of Ruth, I ordered a copy of Harold Paisley’s “This Ruth”. Mr. Paisley’s style of writing and his deep love for the Lord makes reading this commentary/devotional a real joy. I found myself referring to this book time after time and sharing many insights from it during the bible study.” ~Amazon reviewer
