Description:"Bruce T. Forbes takes on arguably the most challenging of long-poem forms, Miltonic blank verse – challenging because it is at once easy to imitate and difficult to master and wield as one’s own." Michael R. Collings, professor emeritus in English from Pepperdine University and past Director of Creative Writing for Seaver CollegeRuth was a princess in the palace of the Moabite king who married an Israelite noble whose family had moved to Moab to escape the great famine that was slowly destroying Israel. From him she learned of a new and loving god, and after his death she made the choice to leave the god and country of her birth to follow this god.Boaz was a cousin to Ruth's deceased husband, an Israelite noble, and Chief Judge of the not-so-little town of Bethlehem. When his cousin's Moabite widow accompanied her mother-in-law back to Bethlehem, he saw and learned that one who was not born an Israelite could convert to the Lord's laws and covenants and become an Israelite in thought, word, and deed.Combining story elements from the Holy Bible, the Tanakh Translation of the Scriptures, The Targum to Ruth, and even the writings of Josephus, writer and poet Bruce T. Forbes weaves the story of two of his childhood heroes into heroic blank verse poetry to celebrate how faith, courage, and gratitude can pave the way for the Almighty God to pour out his blessings and gather to Himself one who was not born within His Covenant People. The story of Ruth and Boaz is a not only a story of love between a man and a woman, but it is also a story of the love between a mortal and their God.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
