Kids enjoyed it, especially those with religious training. "I loved it because I love the storyline." "It talks about the Moabites not being accepted by other tribes." "My Christian friends would like it." "I have read about Ruth in the Bible before. This video makes her story easier to understand." "The opening storm scene helps establish why there was a famine." "I loved the music."
The story of Ruth is told in an interesting way with beautiful artwork. This Old Testament lesson highlighting a famous Biblical female would be a fine addition to a church, synagogue or home library. The overall style of the story is very accurate. However, some adjustments are made which parents will appreciate such as how Ruth and Boaz decide to marry. It addresses cultural differences and how they were handled by these Biblical characters.
Courage, faith and sacrifice are words used to describe Ruth in the Old Testament. Although hailed as a beautiful woman, she was more radiant in her selflessness than her appearance.
