The story of Ruth stands out in the Old Testament. Unlike the grand tales of kings and splendor, it focuses on the trials and triumphs of a few small, seemingly insignificant and
defeated women. Though 3,300 years have passed since these events, it is as if their story happened yesterday.

In Roses for Ashes: A Message of Hope from the Book of Ruth, you'll connect deeply with Ruth and the other characters in this compelling narrative, sharing in their
challenges and victories.

Pastor Miguel Ángel Pozo's vibrant storytelling and thought-provoking questions bring the biblical story of Ruth to life, lifting you from the despair of your personal struggles or the events of the world.

Roses for Ashes is crafted for personal or group study, offering a wealth of ideas, reflections, and insights to help you navigate everyday life.

The story of Ruth and Pozo’s questions give hope that even in the most daunting circumstances, God brings love, life, and joy. As Ruth transitions from darkness and helplessness to a future filled with hope, we too can see the light at the end of our own trials.

Discover, as Ruth did, that with God, we are always in good hands.

This book is a novel, a study, and a gift to those who are suffering in some way. Miguel Angel helps us to see the book of Ruth through the eyes of its protagonist with the desire to encourage us to see the future with the hope that comes from knowing that “for all God’s children, what is evil will never be the last.

This little book has opened to me a treasure of beautiful biblical truth. Miguel Angel Pozo walks us through a cultural-contextual understanding of the story of Ruth. But he also with great skill exposes us to the magic and method of the divine author as He points past Boaz to Jesus himself - our Great Kinsman Redeemer. I highly recommend this work.

After reading only a few pages one feels the heart of a teacher. Miguel Angel does a great job in not only presenting the text in a way that everyone can understand, but also in bringing it home with practical applications and questions to make sure the reader takes the content to heart.

Miguel Ángel has taken a familiar story and given us a new perspective to remind us that God is always working even when we can’t see Him. It begins as a love story between Naomi and Ruth and ends as a wonderful reminder that Jesus is our Ultimate Kinsman-Redeemer. Thank you for this new rendering.
