This graphic novel presents every word, chapter and verse, from the biblical Book of Ruth within its historical, cultural and geographical context. The unabridged story is illustrated in a bold contemporary style but remains as faithful to the Old Testament scripture as possible. It is a tale of two widows trying to survive in ancient Israel and has a nuanced prophetic subtext all too often lost in children's picture books. Featuring the best selling English Bible translation, the NIV, with verse numbers at the bottom of each page. Presented with a matt laminated cover and high-quality, full-color, gloss paper interiors.
