Wonderful book about THE book - one of the 39 in the O/T era that doesn't get as much attention as others ( such as Proverbs, Psalms, Exodus ) , yet is filled to the brim with importance that spills out over the pages of Pastor Davey's pages in his 'Wisdom Commentary' series.

Another wonderful book by Stephen Davey. Enjoyed reading the love story of Boaz and Ruth and how that related to Christ and his church.

Wonderful little book! Dr. Stephen Davey is a favorite of mine. He can make a story come alive with details. I love learning new things from the Bible. He never disappoints as a teacher.
