Giving and Receiving – Ken Barnes

“Then I can’t redeem it,” the family redeemer replied, “because this might endanger my own estate. You redeem the land; I cannot do it.” (Ruth 4:6 NLT)

When you give unselfishly, you ultimately end up receiving.

The Book of Ruth is a beautiful story of unselfish giving. Let me review the chronology of the story. Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi were both widowed. Ruth chose to stay with Naomi instead of pursuing another husband. Naomi tries to persuade Ruth not to follow her because it would mean she would never find a husband. Ruth responds with one of the most beautiful statements of love and commitment in all of the Bible—Ruth 1:16-17 NLT, "Don't ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!"

Boaz, a relative of Naomi, enters the story. He is a virtuous man, and he wants to be the family redeemer and marry Ruth. There is a problem. Another closer relative has the first right of refusal in being the family redeemer. At first, the close relative agrees to be the redeemer, "All right, I'll redeem it”, Ruth 4:4b NLT. Until Boaz explains it would mean marrying Ruth and sharing his inheritance. He then refuses—choosing opportunistically. If we approach God with a what is in it for me mentality, we will never see the full blessing of God.

Ruth 4:21-22 NLT records, "Salmon was the father of Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed. Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David." Boaz and Ruth, both totally committed to giving of themselves, were the spiritual DNA of David, a man after God's own heart.

You can never out-give God.

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member.

It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
