The Romance of Redemption

I have read the book of Ruth, but I have never received out of it what I have now. This should be read by every child of God. What Grace and Mercy we have been shown by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

M.R. Dehaan, in this M.R. DeHaan Classic Library Series, touches the human heart with the the pure, straight-forward and undiluted truth of God's Word as few writers can. In this study from the Book of Ruth, the wonderfully rich application of this Old Testament classic story to the Christian's new life in Christ, the "Kinsman Redeemer", is wonderfully depicted. This book is strongly recommended for those blievers in search of a deeper, truer, more intimate walk with Jesus.

On the surface, the Book of Ruth is a story about a certain family, two widows, and a wealthy man. Dr. Dehaan illuminates several layers of meaning in this story, the primary interpretation of the message of redemption, the practical applications for the believer and a glorious and grand prophetic relevation concerning our own futures. Just as every book in the Bible points to our Lord Jesus Christ, so does the Book of Ruth. This book has timely applications for us today, and for the nation Israel as well as the current calling out of the Church. Finally it is doctrinally sound, our Lord's virgin birth, His bodily resurrection and His atoning blood are found in the word pictures of this book. And you thought this was just a romance between a outcast widow and a wealthy man?

Another of Dr. DeHaans excellent works. Although consisting of only four short chapters, the Book of Ruth has so much to teach about the power of Christs redemptive powers as revealed through the thorough exegesis of Dr. Dehaan. The role of Naomi is also brought out in an enhanced light as Dr. Dehaan gives insight into the prophetic underpinnings of this beautiful story. The authors simple and consistant writing style used in his other works make this read most enjoyable.
