Colliding with Destiny ~ Sarah Jakes

Colliding with Destiny by Sarah Jakes is a really great study on the story of Ruth in the Bible.  I had previously read and reviewed Lost and Found by Sarah Jakes which was also a great book.  Sarah Jakes' second book is equally good and has great insights into the story of Ruth.  So many studies of Ruth focus on Ruth finding her Boaz.  Jakes does a great job of studying all of the story of Ruth.

Jakes explores what happened to Ruth before meeting Boaz and how she handled adversity.  I appreciate how she chose to show the perseverance that Ruth showed throughout her journey.  The relevant examples to today were also very well done.  This is definitely a good read and very applicable to today.
