ABOUT THIS BOOK:
This fun, interactive resource will give children skills to read the Bible as they connect the stories and learn that the whole Bible is about Jesus.
Moments in Ruth's story when something in the story is a little bit like Jesus are signposted with symbols that children need to spot, helping them to understand the relationship between the Old and New Testaments.
Written by Alison Mitchell, the award-winning author of Jesus and the Lions’ Den and The One O’Clock Miracle, and beautifully illustrated, this book makes a great gift for children 4-7 years old. Can also be used for children’s ministry in church.
My Thoughts:
My second grade daughter LOVES this series! She was elated to receive the Old Testament story of Ruth.
We love the interactive aspect of this story! My daughter enjoyed finding the hidden illustrations that later reveal how the sacrificial, redemptive love story of Ruth and Boaz connects to life and lineage of Jesus, our one true Redeemer, in a unique and age-appropriate way.
This book was easy for her to read, well written and Biblically accurate. The illustrations are vibrant, eye-catching and depict Ruth and Boaz’s story as well as the connections to the New Testament and Jesus’ life and death. Most of all, I love that the book gently points young readers to the salvation story in a way that’s easy for them to grasp.
This book would make a wonderful gift, home or homeschool library addition as well as a great resource for children’s church or Sunday school libraries!
