A Lineage of Grace

At last week's Moms Connect we had talked about Ruth's noble character. I had mentioned a novel by Christian author Francine Rivers that covers Ruth's story called Unshaken. It is one book in a series by Rivers called A Lineage of Grace, which covers five important women in Jesus' lineage: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathesheba, and Mary. These books used to be sold separately but now it is sold as one complete book. Here is an excerpt from Unshaken:

Ruth rose and hugged her arms close to her body, shivering slightly. Mount Nebo stood in the distance. Naomi had told her this morning that Moses had gone up onto that mountain and died there after putting Joshua in charge of God's people. They had crossed the Jordan River soon afterward and claimed Canaan. She loved it when Naomi talked about what God had done for the Hebrews. She felt a strange stirring within her as she learned of His mighty feats and His unfailing love.

If you like Bible history and want to learn more about Ruth (and the rest of these women), I have a copy of this great book and will bring it to the next Moms Connect meeting if you would like to borrow it.
