If you were to ask me what my favorite bible story is, I would have to say Ruth.  Leaving her homeland, marrying and then losing her husband, father-in-law and brother-in-law and then staying with Naomi, it is a story of love and faithfulness.  The commitment that she makes to her mother-in-law, to stay with her and to serve her God, shows courage and strength.  So, when they asked if we would like to review the book, I am Ruth, I counted down the days until it arrived.

As the front of the books says, it is a story of Loss, Love and Redemption and it is one that I enjoy reading over and over. I am Ruth is a beautiful book that has been published by New Leaf Publishing Group.  The author Brenda Duff shares the whole book of Ruth from the bible throughout this book.  In between the scripture she weaves words that bring the story to life.  This book truly takes you back to the time of Ruth.

Another amazing element of the book is the photography by Kenneth Berg.  The pictures that he took, really bring the story of Ruth alive.  They capture the beauty, the love, the loss and yes, the redemption of those in, I am Ruth.  The pictures I am sharing, that I took of the book, just does not do it justice.  I am truly having a hard time describing the beauty, the accuracy that the pictures bring to this book.  They really will take your breath away.
