The Book of Ruth Softcover / New Living Translation (NLT) Reviews

5 Rating 130 Reviews
What I love about Alabaster books, is that they invite you to meditate on the text by offering images and tones that help your mind to think beyond letters and words you are reading. They invite you to imagine the people, the scenery...they invite you to remember the real human interactions. They invite you to imagine yourself "drinking from the brook", or "wandering the desert", or in the chaotic sea that was commanded to "be still." The Scriptures aren't something you just read and check off a list of "completed tasks." They were intended to be read, and re-read, and re-read...to ponder, to meditate, to experience again and again. And what Alabaster offers is a new and fresh experience with the Scriptures. About the book of Ruth specifically, from an artistic perspective, I love the purple theme throughout the book. It is soft and beautiful. I love the subtle feminine imagery that allows you to imagine who Ruth may have been. I love the different scenes from nature that allow you to think about what it may have felt like for Ruth and Naomi to travel together. Or what Ruth may have felt when she was to harvest from a large field among people she did not know. All of these images allow you to think outside the box, to ask questions, and to experience the Scriptures in a refreshing way.

I love how the text is broken up in this book. I think sometimes we speed through scripture but what I love about Alabaster’s books is that they allow you to slow down while reading. The imagery in their books help to complement the text as you meditate on the words. I love how their books serve as both beautiful coffee table books and are the Word of God. If you are an artistic person, or just want to soak in the Word more, you will love this book! I love partnering with Alabaster and being a part Alabaster’s Influencer Program, which allowed me to receive a complimentary copy of this book.
