Publisher's summary

From best-selling author Toni Sorenson comes a captivating account of the beloved Old Testament story of Ruth and Naomi.

Ruth and Naomi: Whithersoever Thou Goest is the inspiring tale of two women’s matchless devotion, envisioned as never before. It is a time of famine and despair in the land: crops are failing, idol-worship is widely practiced, and those who follow the God of Israel are cruelly oppressed. Israel’s defeat at the hands of Moab has left a nation in despair, and among the struggling are Naomi and her blacksmith husband, Elimelech. Following a series of unspeakable tribulations, Elimelech is a harder man - and despite his family’s misgivings, he makes a decision that changes their lives forever. The King of Moab is in need of the kind of weaponry that Elimelech can produce, and Naomi feels she must support her husband in his desire to heed the call to serve. So, along with their two young sons, the family leaves their home in Bethlehem to begin a new life.

As the family gains favor in the sight of the king, Naomi’s sons endear themselves to two of the king’s daughters, Orpah and Ruth, and marry into the royal family. But when tragedy claims the lives of their husbands, events are set in motion for Naomi and Ruth that will alter the course of history.

Great Story!

Loved it! Kept my attention and made me want to know more! Performance by the reader was great also!

Enriching and Tender

Ruths name has always been important to me but I knew nothing of the culture or WHY what she said would be so important. The story opened my eyes and heart to see a woman I grew to love. As I came to listen to the life of Naomi I realized an Integrity issue in my own life. As she sat depressed and alone she realized she had forsaken her God. She took a stand for her belief and life did not get easier but in the future ended up giving her so much of what her heart desired. I chose to do what she did and my life has been enriched and my loyalty to my God has returned. It is a story that really did touch my heart.

Loved it

I didn't think a religious book could capture me like it did. Very strong and inspiring women.

A favorite Old Testament story comes to life

I have long loved the story about Ruth and her mother in law Naomi. This version of the story adds even more grace, compassion, and beauty to a story of conversion and faith.

Loved this book!!

My husband recently died and this book helped me see a new perspective on enduring suffering and hardship for the sake of God's plan. Naomi had no idea her pain was necessary to set up the stage for the birth of Jesus.

Tears of Joy

This book is such a gift of healing, repentance, joy and life! I couldn’t stop listening once it began. My life has been changed for the better because of the beautiful story it told and the messages that ran through it pages. It is a must read!

Timeless story

Wonderful rendering of a beloved book. All should read and understand the love of God to all His children.

Beautiful story, beautifully told

The story goes into so much detail and is told so beautifully that I was able to loose myself in it. This is definitely a book worth reading/hearing!

Ruth & Naomi

Really good narration and characters, nice clear voices. Really Good & True Bible account.
Good to read before Pesech/Passover, for the ending of this story when Boaz became Kinsman Redeemer took place at the end of the harvest.
Boaz was the modern day Kinsman Redeemer in Ruth’s time, as Messiah is for Our time!

Wonderful

I've always loved the story of Ruth and Naomi. I'm so moved that words fail me. Thank you.
