I read this book as a bible study with my family. It helps us go back to the scripture passages and understand Ruth's story within the proper context. Jerome Gay intermixes Israelite and Moabite culture's background while focusing the readers' attention on the broader biblical implications. You also get some excellent illustrations of God's grace through personal stories from Pastor Gay.
The story of the Book of Ruth is an illustration of how Jesus is the kinsman redeemer for humanity as Boaz redeems Ruth and Naomi through marriage. Just as Naomi returned to her people needing redemption, we also need to be saved due to our sinful nature. The book steps through this process and challenges the reader to connect what they read in Ruth and how it relates to Christ.
Gay annotates the passages of scripture while unfolding Ruth and Boaz's relationship, and Naomi and her people establish the book as an excellent bible study tool.

This book will take the book of Ruth and bring it to life for you. There is no doubt the author is a pastor when you read it. He takes what seems like a love story from old and shows us how Gods redeeming heartbeat is still beating for us today.
