RELEASED: WILL YOU BELIEVE TO THE POINT THAT IT CHANGES YOUR STORY?

by Melissa Lloyd

Released is a fresh perspective on the familiar Old Testament story of a young woman from the wrong town who was raised to believe in the wrong god. Then God housed his extravagant passion within the frail heart of an embittered Jewish woman who inadvertently carried His invitation right up to this Moabite girl's door. Attracted to the ember of hope that refused to die within Naomi, Ruth believed to the point that it radically changed her story and pushed past every obstacle that threatened to turn her around. Readers will quickly discover that this artistic biblical narrative is so much more than a girl meets guy story with a far-fetched fairytale ending that leaves them questioning whether they will ever experience their own. Through relatable illustrations and detailed exegesis of Ruth’s story, Released presents its readers with successive questions designed to challenge them to set out on their own journey to an ever deepening relationship with God. For every believer who has walked away from a faith that never fed them or is wearied from simply going through the motions of an empty religion that leaves the heart unchanged, Released takes its readers on a transformative journey that begins in the ancient country of Moab and leads all the way to the exquisite intimacy every soul was made to crave.
