Who wrote it?

Tanya Marlow has experienced spiritual disappointment – though chronic illness, when she gave birth and lost the ability to walk more than twenty metres.
She is a former lecturer in Biblical Theology and someone who has personally wrestled with doubt and suffering.

What’s it about?

The Biblical book of Ruth is a story of disappointment followed by restoration; wandering and then homecoming.
Tanya Marlow gently interweaves her own story with Ruth’s story, getting under the skin of the characters, and bringing the biblical book to life.

What’s unique about it?

It is a short read for busy people – quick enough to be read in a single sitting.
Each chapter follows the structure of the Bible’s book of Ruth
There are creative exercises and questions for reflection at the end of each chapter, making it ideal for personal study or group discussion.
