Abiding Love

This short story is a contemporary re-imagining of the Biblical story of Ruth. In it, Diane Greenwood Muir, author of the Bellingwood series, explores the deep connection that love creates in friends.

Naomi has experienced everything from exhilarating joy to paralyzing grief and yet, her life is constantly renewed by the steadfast love that comes from her closest friend. Ruth has sacrificed a great deal - her homeland and the life she knew - to stay with Naomi when circumstances should have pulled them apart.

As Ruth begins a new life, with a new husband and family, Naomi finds that she has been given a great gift - an understanding of the way God fulfilled His promise to care for her, no matter what. When He seems so far away, we find Him in those who continue to love us.
