| Summary | "A Farmer's Wife: The Story of Ruth" by J. H. Willard is a retelling of the biblical narrative of Ruth, presented as a children's story with illustrations, published in the early 20th century. The book, part of the Altemus' Beautiful Stories Series, focuses on themes of love, loyalty, and redemption, encapsulating the journey of Ruth, a Moabite woman, who chooses to stay with her Israelite mother-in-law, Naomi, after facing personal tragedy. In this poignant story, Ruth, after losing her husband, resolutely accompanies Naomi back to Bethlehem, leaving her homeland behind. Despite the societal challenges of being a foreign widow in a new land, Ruth's dedication to Naomi inspires kindness from Boaz, a family relative. Their subsequent relationship blossoms into a redemptive love story, culminating in Ruth's marriage to Boaz, which ultimately leads to their lineage's significant legacy, connecting to King David and, by extension, to Jesus Christ. The narrative is rich with lessons of devotion and the transformative power of love, making it an engaging read for both children and adults alike. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
