With grace, style and beauty, famed author Liz Curtis Higgs puts her pen to the Biblical story of Naomi and Ruth, bringing it not into modern times, but into a beautiful setting full of political upheaval and danger. Scotland’s hills populate the background of this story and become more than merely a setting. Scotland becomes an important player in the story. The history of this incredible country is interwoven with the faith and beauty of these delightful characters. Higgs has, indeed, crafted a story that touches the heart and along with it, shares Biblical principles.Even for those of us who know the story of Naomi and Ruth and have studied it in depth, this retelling lends itself to introspection and a deeper understanding of the journey taken by these two women. If you’ve ever experienced a connection or a thirst for more from the story of Naomi and Ruth, this book is highly recommended. It’s certain that you’ll enjoy it.Review copy provided by publisher. LOVE this author's work! She does a lot of research to make her books authentic. I accidentally read the sequel to this book first but it didn't make too much of a difference. I still enjoyed every minute. She even developed a great Scottish accent so that she could record the audiobook! Although the covers look as though the book could contain some less than God-honoring material, it is a pure, educational, and non-fantastical story.
What do You think about Here Burns My Candle (2010)?
A little difficult deciphering the Scottish accent written in but a very good story.
