Chapter 1 - a podcast by Joshua Savage, read by Greg Ball

In the time"when the judges ruled"and"there was no king in Israel,"a famine blights the land of Israel and the town of Bethlehem. Elimilech, his wife Naomi, and their two sons turn their back on the promised land and enter the land of Moab. So begins the beautiful historical narrative of Ruth. This chapter has one of the greatest conversion statements in all of the Bible, and we are introduced to the strength, love, and courage of Ruth to leave the culture, religion, and land of her birth to become a stranger in a new land.This full recording of the book of Ruth is read by Greg Ball, produced by Joshua Savage, and uses an adapted version of the non-copyrighted 1599 Geneva Bible. The translation has been adapted by Joshua Savage in reference to the original source language.
