Description
The Bible story of Ruth is imaginatively brought to life in this biblically faithful chapter book that helps kids 8+ engage with God's word. Readers will find themselves immersed in the hearts and minds of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz as they experience difficulty, uncertainty, danger, and rescue.
With an emphasis on God's relationship with his people, this retelling is careful to depict human relationships appropriately and in light of God's love for his people. Kids will learn that God's providence, provision, and kindness extend to all kinds of people, even to those who are outsiders.
Includes a Bible-reading plan and notes that differentiate the known facts from the imaginative parts.
Makes a wonderful gift for children 8+ years. A discussion guide is also included, making it ideal for book clubs and homeschool co-ops.
Written by Katy Morgan, author of faithful, imaginative Bible retellings: The Promise and the Light and The Songs of a Warrior.
Endorsements
Katy Morgan is a richly gifted storyteller. In The Outsider, she brings her gifts to bear on what has been called the most beautiful short narrative ever written as she sensitively, faithfully and imaginatively retells the biblical story of Ruth and Naomi. Drawn into the twists and turns of their emotion-packed world, we marvel at God's faithful care and by the end discover where their story will eventually lead. While written with young people in mind, I suspect The Outsider will be read and enjoyed by those of every age!
