The Outsider: Ruth – A Retelling

The Outsider: Ruth – A Retelling

By Katy Morgan

Step into the fields of Bethlehem and experience the story of Ruth like never before.

The Outsider brings the biblical account of Ruth to life through a beautifully imagined and biblically faithful retelling crafted especially for readers aged 8 and up. Through the eyes of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz, young readers will walk through grief, courage, hope, and redemption—all while encountering the kindness and providence of a God who sees and welcomes the outsider.

With thoughtful storytelling grounded in Scripture, this chapter book blends imagination and truth in a way that honours the biblical text while inviting deeper reflection. A helpful notes section guides readers in understanding which parts are creatively retold and which are drawn directly from the Bible. It also includes a discussion guide, making it ideal for families, homeschoolers, and book clubs.
