John Piper demonstrates the great relevance and unchanging realities of the book of Ruth by examining its overarching themes: the sovereignty of God, the sexual nature of humanity, and the gospel of God’s mercy for the undeserving.

“We live in a relativistic culture, where people are more concerned with being liked than being truthful. In Sex, Race, and the Sovereignty of God, John Piper does an outstanding job of biblically defending key truths that the church often ignores. He gives us an example of how to take a bold and educated stand on issues of race, purity, and God’s sovereignty.”—Francis Chan, Crazy Love Ministries; pastor; author, Crazy Love and Letters to the Church“With his usual clarity, candor, and insight, John Piper masterfully guides us through the short but powerful book of Ruth. More than a ‘little romance,’ Piper unpacks the book’s teaching on sovereignty, providence, grace, and glory. As we follow the account of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz, our own lives are enriched and transformed. I recommend this book to all who desire to know God better through his Word.”—Tremper Longman III, Distinguished Scholar and Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies, Westmont College
