Christian Fiction / Historical Fiction
Naomi, faithful wife and devoted mother, finds herself in a foreign land surrounded by people who hate and distrust her family simply for being Judaean.
Ruth, a young Moabite woman, marries Naomi’s eldest in order for her father to keep a finger on Naomi’s family.
Ten years of distrust, heartbreak, and tragedy rob both women of the men they love. With dreams dashed, they return to Ephrathah as widows, expecting to be treated as outcasts. While Naomi harbors bitterness and worry, Ruth embraces hope. She places her trust in Naomi’s guidance and her faith in Naomi’s God.
Great Is His Faithfulness is a fictional account of the incredible story of Naomi and Ruth, the relationship they shared, and the blessing bestowed on them after everything seemed to be lost.

Very well written and imaginative take on the story of Ruth. This is a book you start and finish in one sitting, it’s that good.

Ruth is too often overlooked in Scripture. C. Borden’s exploration of this example of faith and loyalty against all odds is unforgettable giving me a whole new appreciation for Ruth and her place in the promises fulfilled by Christ.

A friend recommended this author, but I’m not typically a fan of most fiction. I decided to give this historical fiction a shot and was surprised at the refreshing perspective on Naomi and Ruth. I couldn’t put it down!
