This novel presents an allegorical account of the life of the
biblical character, Ruth, as she progresses through her internal
struggles and complex relationship with Naomi, who guides her in
wisdom and grace while navigating the currents of love in her
romance with Dr. Swift. For those unfamiliar with the Old
Testament's biblical narrative (in four chapters) of the Book of
Ruth (though not required), a brief reading would help capture the
prevailing themes in Ruth's life. This novel can be used as a guide
in conducting successful relationships and guarding against
internal and external forces that tend to gradually erode
established unions. It seeks to reaffirm some common sense and
conventional wisdom approaches we sometimes take for granted in
building and maintaining a trustworthy relationship. It is my
prayer that this literature would both minister to and confirm in
the spirit of all readers biblical truths and applied knowledge
where most needed in our walk with God and relationship with each
other. Charles E. Davies Captured by the imagination of the author
as he guides his readers through the winding path of Ruth's
romantic storms, the disappointment of her past and her reluctance
to try and love again infringed upon my reality as I journeyed
along with the expectation that Naomi's wisdom could make a
difference. One assurance I have gained from this novel is that if
Ruth can reap her harvest after life's long wintery spell, then in
comfort I will sit and wait for love to bloom. Susan E. Sura, MEd.
Many women struggle with relationships throughout their lives.
Often they give up, believing that they are unlovable or unworthy.
Keeping Boaz is much more than a love story. It is packed with the
advice on relationships from one friend to another. Charles Davies
has done a wonderful job in weaving Naomi's counsel into the fabric
of our relationships. I encourage everyone to read this novel and
to always remember that they are loveable and that our
relationships would be blessed by God if we first invite him into
our lives. Laura Thiesen, MSW.
