“ They leave the house of bread and the house of praise and they go over to eat out of a garbage can.” (Pages 15–16)

“the decision made that day will determine whether Jesus Christ will be born in Bethlehem or not.” (Page 24)

“There’s something in the Word of God about Moab that’s quite interesting. It’s almost humorous. In Psalm 108:9 it says, ‘Moab is my washpot.’ Now that’s what God says of Moab. You see, these were an outcast people. They had a very sordid and sorry beginning, and Moab just doesn’t stand out very well in the Word of God. One way to paraphrase what God says about Moab might be to say, ‘Moab is my garbage can.’” (Page 15)

“Her third statement, ‘Thy people shall be my people—I’m forsaking my people, idolators, and I’m identifying myself with God’s people.’” (Page 25)

“Now the second thing that Naomi tells Ruth to do is to anoint herself.” (Page 62)
