Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther - Irene Nowell

Irene Nowell's lively and thoughtful exploration of these poetic and powerful books promises to ignite appreciation and understanding in the hearts and minds of
readers.

The five books abound with vivid stories
of faith. The Song of Songs, dedicated to Solomon, celebrates the wonder of human love. The book of Ruth, a
masterpiece of storytelling, tells of two valiant women who move from emptiness to fullness, desolation to redemption.
Lamentations, telling of the destruction of Jerusalem, recognizes that the Lord has struck and that only the Lord
can heal. Ecclesiastes teaches the futility of vanity and
storing up riches. The book of Esther tells the story of a
Jewish woman and her uncle who, by their courage and wit,
deliver the Jews from threatened genocide.

Gathered
together and artfully explored, this volume offers readers
a wealth of information to inspire deeper understanding of
the human journey and God's presence in the lives of those
who trust in him.
