In this treatise of the Old Testament book of Ruth, Bishop Clarke takes the reader on a mental and spiritual journey of Naomi's and Ruth's biblical family. Mentally, this book shows the trials of Naomi and her family as they journey from Moab and back to their hometown of Bethlehem. Spiritually, the reader can recognize how Naomi and Ruth's family trials parallel the internal struggles people and families face today. Offering a different slant on a familiar story, Celebrating the Family: Lessons from the Book of Ruth, reminds us that all families are important to God.
