| Description: |
Written thousands of years ago, the biblical story of Ruth still speaks eloquently today, calling us to reflect on what it means to be a truly whole and spiritual woman. In The Story of Ruth best-selling author Joan D. Chittister and celebrated artist John August Swanson together reclaim this powerful story as a model for contemporary women seeking a fully spiritual life…a lovely blend of art and text, The Story of Ruth provides inspirational help for women seeking wholeness in a world still struggling with issues of gender and faith, and offers compelling devotional images for eyes and mind alike. "Joan Chittister and John August Swanson's Story of Ruth is an easy, wise, and instructive lens through which to view one of the gems of the Hebrew Bible. So creative and engaging, this book is in the highest Jewish tradition of reading 'between the lines' of scripture. It is nothing short of what can only be called a modern midrash. It should be required reading for Christians and Jews, women, and above all, men." from the review by Rabbi Lawrence Kushner |
