Download The Gospel of Ruth: Loving God Enough to Break the Rules AudioBook Free
This isnt the Ruth, the Naomi, or the Boaz we thought we recognized. Carolyn Custis James has unearthed startling new insights out of this well-worn account insights which may have life-changing implications for you. Naomi is no longer seen as a bitter, complaining female, but as a courageous overcomer. A lady Job. Ruth (typically admired on her behalf devotion to Naomi and her deference to Boaz) actually is a gutsy risk-taker and a robust agent for change among Gods people. She lives outside the pack, and her love for Yahweh and Naomi compels her to break the guidelines of cultural and religious convention at practically every convert. Boaz, the Kinsman Redeemer, is consistently trapped off-guard by Ruths initiatives. His relationship with her models the sort of male/female human relationships that the gospel intends for everyone who follow Jesus. James drills down deeper into the account where she uncovers in the Old Testament the same passionate, counter-cultural, rule-breaking gospel that Jesus modeled and taught his enthusiasts to pursue. Through this age-old account is a map to radical levels of love and sacrifice, combined with communication that God is counting on his daughters to construct his kingdom. The Gospel of Ruth vests every womans life with kingdom purposes and frees us to adopt wholeheartedly Gods getting in touch with, no matter our circumstances or season of life. This account of two women who have lost everything has a profound communication: God created women not to live in the shadowy margins of men or of the past, but to emerge as courageous activists for his kingdom.
