description: From the bitter to the sweet: the profound story of Naomi Call Me Mara focuses on the strong and beautiful character of Naomi from the Book of Ruth, a heroine whose life carries the deepest of meanings. Her story tells us about the long way down and, equally, the long way up. Naomi is without hope when she returns with Ruth to the land of her nativity, but everything begins to change as the plan of God unfolds. Call Me Mara brings to life Naomi's journey, which is interwoven with other biblical stories and examples, as well as the author's personal experiences. It also provides questions that can be used as a class study guide or for readers to contemplate on their own spiritual journey. Call Me Mara examines the importance of right timing, the meaning of commitment, the value of obstacles and hardships, and the importance of gratitude and praise.
