Faithful God

Faithful God Author Sinclair B. Ferguson ISBN 9781850492474 Pages 143 The book of Ruth contains far more about God than its size would suggest; it records experiences of joy and sorrow; it tells a story of home life, romance and marriage, of unexpected conversion and radical consecration. Here is a vital part of the biblical narrative of redemptive history, focusing like a microscope on part of the detailed preparation God made as he sovereignty directed history towards the coming of the Saviour Jesus Christ.  This book helps us to understand Christ himself--and , indeed, the whole Bible--more fully and clearly,  and teaches us much about God's grace and providence.   The book has its origins in a series of memorable addresses given at the English Conference of the Evangelical Movement of Wales in Aberystwyth in August 1996.  It includes as a helpful appendix a letter by John Newton on the guidance of God. Sinclair B Freguson is minister of First Presbyterian Church, Columbia
