Los temas eternos como sexo, tensi n racial y los desconcertantes y perfectos planes de Dios son hoy d a tan parte de nuestra experiencia humana como tambi n lo fueron para Rut y Booz hace m s de tres mil a os. En Bajo las alas de Dios, el libro de Rut cobra vida en forma de una historia en que el Se or utiliza las m s arriesgadas y fr giles circunstancias para lograr sus acertados y misericordiosos prop sitos. El lector experimentar el libro de Rut en una manera distinta y recibir inspiraci n a fin de que pueda tomar grandes riesgos para un Dios grandioso y soberano.
Sex. Race. Scripture. Sovereignty. The book of Ruth includes them all. So readers shouldn't be fooled by its age, says Pastor John Piper. Though its events happened over 3,000 years ago, the story holds astounding relevance for Christians in the twenty-first century. The sovereignty of God, the sexual nature of humanity, and the gospel of God's mercy for the undeserving--these massive realities never change. And since God is still sovereign, and we are male or female, and Jesus is alive and powerful, A Sweet and Bitter Providence bears a message for readers from all walks of life. But be warned, Piper tells his audience: This ancient love affair between Boaz and Ruth could be dangerous, inspiring all of us to great risks in the cause of love.
