Each chapter opens with a fictional postcard from one of the characters in Ruth. A short chapter of 4 or 5 pages then follows, and is closed with a chance for the reader to journal and reflect on her experience. In doing so, she will see her own remarkable progress!
A color photo of the land through which Ruth and Naomi travelled, creative layout and graphics, and a series of classic artworks rendered in black and white tones depicting the book of Ruth make this a pleasing gift for all women. For a support group or book club, a free 5-session discussion guide is also available by request.
