Ruth

By: H.B. Moore

Narrated by: Nancy Peterson, Alan Peterson

Master storyteller and best-selling author H. B. Moore brings to life the biblical account of Ruth as never before in this vivid retelling of her courageous and faithful life. Following the death of Ruth's husband, she finds herself at a crossroads. Rather than return to her family and hometown, the young widow makes a remarkable decision: she will remain with her mother-in-law, Naomi, as her caretaker and companion.

Together, the two widows boldly leave behind the lives they knew in the land of Moab and make their way to Bethlehem, arriving downtrodden and destitute. Though Ruth works day and night to provide for Naomi, it is ultimately through the kindness and generosity of Boaz that the two women find respite from their trials. As Ruth comes to know Boaz, she finds that her broken heart is beginning to heal in ways she could never have imagined. But when a question of inheritance threatens any hope of a life with Boaz, Ruth may have to give up the last piece of her heart in order to secure her future.

Wonderful narrators bring the story to life

Once I got into this book I didn't want to stop reading it. I knew the story of Ruth--her husband dies and she takes responsibility for her mother-in-law, Naomi. When they move to Bethlehem from Moab she goes to glean in Boaz's wheat fields with the other handmaidens so she and Naomi can survive. Boaz is one of Naomi's kinsmen.

Boaz's wife left him, their young daughter, and her religion to worship the Moabite god Baal. Boaz meets Ruth when she comes to glean in his fields, and he notices her goodness and how she takes care of Naomi.

I loved this story and how the author makes the characters come to life. She makes it easy to picture everything in my head as I read. Heather B. Moore is one of my favorite authors, and I love her Biblical fiction. I'd previously read this story as a ebook, but wanted to listen to the audiobook. The narrators are wonderful as Ruth and Boaz.
