The Outsider

The Bible story of Ruth is imaginatively brought to life in this biblically faithful chapter book that helps kids 8+ engage with God’s word. Readers will find themselves immersed in the hearts and minds of Ruth, Naomi and Boaz as they experience difficulty, uncertainty, danger and rescue.

With an emphasis on God's relationship with his people, this retelling is careful to depict human relationships appropriately and in light of God’s love for his people. Kids will learn that God’s providence, provision and kindness extend to all kinds of people, even to those who are outsiders.

Includes notes that differentiate the known facts from the imaginative parts.

Makes a wonderful gift for children 8+ years. A discussion guide is also included, making it ideal for book clubs.

Written by Katy Morgan, author of faithful, imaginative Bible retellings: The Promise and the Light and The Songs of a Warrior.
