A slim volume containing the tale of Ruth, which is an exquisite tale about the bond between women. The narrative is unique in Scripture because it centers around a female family struggling for survival in a man's world. It is a story of women's culture and women's values. It is about absolute commitment, embracing connection and love as a spiritual path.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
