Do you ever find yourself looking at your life or the world around you, wondering how you got where you are and wishing you could turn back time? Do the myriad voices and conflicting opinions fighting for your attention leave you feeling deeply confused? Have you ever felt that sense of disorientation that either the culture around you has lost its way or you have?

From Broken to Blessed shines a clear beacon of light into the gathering gloom of our world and offers the kind of hopeful perspective that troubled hearts like yours and like mine desperately need. The story of Ruth tells the tale of a handful of individuals who lived during one of the darkest periods in Israel's history, illustrating in their lives that there is a better way than to live under the tyrannical rule of our own will and encouraging us that even in a distinctly post-Christian West, godly living is possible. Read how Naomi's devastating disappointments set her on a journey to blessings beyond her wildest dreams. Discover God's heart towards those who need rescue and the straight path that will steer us through the labyrinth of this world. Join Naomi and Ruth on their journey towards hope and rediscover hope and perspective for your own life.
