By telling the biblical story of Ruth and bringing the people of the story to life, Miguel Pozo lifts you up from a place of despair about the wider culture or your personal life and offers amazing hope for the future. You will identify with Ruth and the other biblical characters, their troubles, and their victories and how even in the face of the most challenging circumstances God can bring about love, life, joy, and hope.
Miguel Ángel Pozo sets out the social context of the book of Ruth in such a way that the reader today can see the hand of God in their own lives as they see it in the lives of Ruth and Naomi. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter help the reader apply the lessons from the biblical story to their own lives. As Ruth moves from darkness, depression and helplessness to seeing a way forward with God’s help, we too can see the light at the end of the darkness. We discover, as Ruth did, that we are not alone but in good hands! Pastor Pozo encourages us all to study, reflect and discuss in groups the lessons and learnings from Ruth for our own growth and for our own discovery of the message of hope that God offers us.
This book is a novel, a study, and a gift to those who are suffering in some way. Miguel Angel helps us to see the book of Ruth through the eyes of its protagonist with the desire to encourage us to see the future with the hope that comes from knowing that “for all God’s children, what is evil will never be the last.”

This little book has opened to me a treasure of beautiful biblical truth. Miguel Angel Pozo walks us through a cultural-contextual understanding of the story of Ruth. But he also with great skill exposes us to the magic and method of the divine author as He points past Boaz to Jesus himself – our Great Kinsman Redeemer. I highly recommend this work.

After reading only a few pages one feels the heart of a teacher. Miguel Angel does a great job in not only presenting the text in a way that everyone can understand, but also in bringing it home with practical applications and questions to make sure the reader takes the content to heart.

Relatable and applicable to every aspect of my life! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Ruth and her story.

Miguel Ángel has taken a familiar story and given us a new perspective to remind us that God is always working even when we can’t see Him. It begins as a love story between Naomi and Ruth and ends as a wonderful reminder that Jesus is our Ultimate Kinsman-Redeemer. Thank you for this new rendering.
