A New Time and Place: Preparing Yourself to Receive God's Best

by Jack W. Hayford

Written by beloved author and pastor Dr. Jack Hayford, this beautiful, all-occasion giftbook presents an innovative look at one of the most inspiring characters in the Bible. Through this fresh look at the story of a humble young Moabite woman who came to a new time and a new place, men and women will discover that in the tale of Ruth there is a message for us all, as the Lord calls each one of us to new times and places. Simply and profoundly, Dr. Hayford reveals the truth that God leads us, too, to exciting, new horizons if we yield our old ways and seek Him with all our hearts.

Reviews

[Taylor Sines · Rating 2 out of 5]

Disappointed with the moralistic application separated from the redemptive-historical meaning of this book. He explained the story’s significance in the life of Israel well, however, his application seemed amorphous and wildly therapeutic, making the reader centric in the book rather than God’s purposes.

I have owned this book for a long time and this was the third time I’ve read it over the course of the last 15ish years. Such a good book about the life of Ruth. And the real life application of the faith that takes place throughout it is a great value add!

I love the book of Ruth and his use of this book to minister about trusting God and waiting on Him without trying to "help" Him. :-)
