Book Description:
Destitute, grief-stricken, and unwanted by the people of God, Ruth arrives in Israel with
nothing to recommend her but Naomi's, love. Her loftiest hope is to provide enough food to save Naomi and herself from starvation. But God has other plans for her life.
While everyone considers Ruth an outcast, she is astounded to find one of the most honored men of Judah showing her favor. Long since a widower and determined to stay that way, Boaz is irresistibly drawn to the foreign woman with the haunted eyes. He tells himself he is only being kind to his Cousin Naomi's chosen daughter when he goes out of his way to protect her from
harm, but his heart knows better.
Based on the biblical account of Ruth, In the Field of Grace is the story of a love that ultimately changes the course of Israel's destiny and the future of the whole world.

My Thoughts:
Every now and then, you stumble upon a story that is so real, so easy to get lost in, that you forget everything else in your life. I read "In the Field of Grace" in 48 hours, which has to be a personal record for me.
I love Biblical fiction, but I've never seen the story of Ruth and Boaz brought to life so beautifully before. I was hooked from the first page.
I've been a fan of this author since reading "Pearl in the Sand," and I'm eager to look up the other two books she has written. I truly enjoyed this book. Highly recommended to any inspirational fiction fans.
(I received a copy of this book through Netgalley and Moody Publishers in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.)
My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars!
