Rate this book
THERE IS RESTORATION AFTER GREAT LOSS. A broken heart can be mended. And lost dreams can become the greatest source of hope. But there is so much more to the story of Ruth.

Ruth was not afraid to step out of her comfort zone and embrace new possibilites. She ventured past cultural limitations to discover a life of fulfillment. She was willing to risk it all and be stretched. 

For those who feel an affinity to this woman of God, it's time to break boundaries and conquer new territories. This is the core of The Ruth   a courageous, bold, faith-filled, and resolute pioneering spirit. 

MICHELLE McCLAIN-WALTERS SHOWS HOW OPERATING IN AN ANOINTING SIMILAR TO RUTH'S WILL REVEAL THE REDEMPTIVE WORK OF JESUS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

This was an absolute treasure. As a fan of the book of Ruth and having studied Ruth three times already, this made me want to re-study the book over. I loved the insights shared by Michelle. As usual, the prayers in the book were extremely powerful. I wrote some down and stuck them to my wall.

This a powerhouse book written for woman who need a serious push into their walk and call. I loved using this as a guide to study Ruth. I recommend reading this book after studying the book of Ruth. Take some of the insights and jot them in your Bible.

I love the breakdown of definitions that Michelle always does as they help to further breakdown and understand the points in the book.

Phenomenal read!

Powerful Insight on Ruth and What it Means to be a Virtuous Woman

This was such a timely read for me. It increased my appreciation for what kind of woman Ruth was and just how counterculture her spirit was. I've struggled to see myself as a Ruth, but I kept seeing myself and seeing areas God was dealing in my life as I read this book. I'm so excited to live out what I've learned from these pages. A good book becomes powerful when we actually live it out and if more women read this and apply it to their lives, what a world it would be! May the Ruth Anointing be upon God's women today.

Timely, moving, and hopeful. Exactly the perspective I needed for my current season. Highlighting all the prayers and boldly declaring them over my life and destiny, and that of all the women in my life❤️

Not an authentic Christian book. Lots of new age unbiblical teachings such as generational curses and soul ties. She also quotes a notorious false teacher T.D. Jakes. What made me stop reading was when she critiqued the biblical view of marriage by saying “the woman is the background to the man’s foreground.” She’s entitled to her opinion, but don’t say that’s a Christian biblical view of marriage. She does not understand the beauty of submission which God asks of both men and women. A very dangerous and nebulous book for young Christians, the false teachings intertwined with biblical truth are very misleading and disappointing. You need good discernment to sift through the insidious opinions of hers presented as biblical truth.

I absolutely LOVED this book!! It’s so POWERFUL!!! I felt convicted like 10 pages in! The Ruth anointing is basically a spiritual guide for those who feel an affinity to Ruth. I believe that there are people whose character lines up with those of the people in the Bible and most of the time, their life stories line up too. But I felt an affinity with Ruth and this book didn’t disappoint! It goes so deep into the story and comes up with stuff I would have never thought of in a hundred years! I hope you’ll give it a try and see for yourself!! ❤️❤️

God's Promise of Restoration and Redemption

This is an excellent book obviously a labor of love as well as an assignment from the Holy Spirit. It is full of revelation and insight into the life of Ruth but also made very relevant to caiman who are I place where God is assuring that He will bring add-on devastation to restoration as you make a decision to trust and obey and follow Him. It really does minister. There are also power prayer decrees as you go through it to activate your faith !

Blessing Beyond Measure

I have now read Book of Ruth over 15 times. This book drew me alongside a deep alignment to the book as well as reading Esther Anointing.

Powerful in breaking down the seasons of Ruth's journey, her focus on purpose, radical faith and how Yahweh draws her. I've listened now 2 times and feel God and the Holy Spirit planting different seeds and reminders in my own mind. Thank you

More Than A Love Story

This book was just awesome. All the time I thought Ruth was about finding your Boaz. But after reading this book it's about finding yourself. Knowing that you are destined for some greater than what you thought you were. Yes if you haven't read this book you really need to. This was an eye opener. A great read.....

I really enjoyed this book. However, this anointing didn't specifically speak to me. If you want to become more like Ruth, then this is your book! Michelle paints Ruth's story as more than just a romantic story that most of us perceive it to be---it's so much more as you can see in the book. I highly recommend it for all Christian women!

This book was perfect for me. My husband has prophesied over a year before we got married that he was Boaz and would be meeting his Ruth. We started dating a few months after. I have always know what it meant for him to be a Boaz but I wanted to know if that also meant I was Ruth. This book was beautiful and exactly what I needed.

I found this book to be very insightful. I have read a lot of books/ commentaries on the book of Ruth in the Bible to be honest I almost didn't purchase this one because I thought it would just be review. I was wrong the author's perspective was great. She did get me to look at this biblical story and its characters in new ways. I highly recommend.

I enjoy this series of books. The insight, prayers, and how the author brings us into the story with background from then and wisdom for today. This is my fourth or fifth time reading it and each time I find something new.

The narration was very motivating, and you could hear that the narrator is passionate about what they're reading. This book is motivating and can definitely help provide one more clarity on their life and the direction where you want to take it.

This book made me see the story of Ruth and who she was entirely differently. I feel determined to be a woman of excellence, a pioneer, and a woman who places unwavering faith in my Redeemer.
