First sentence: THE IDEA FOR THIS BOOK HAS BEEN STEWING IN MY BRAIN FOR several years.
Description: "Here is a book that brings a bright and fresh perspective to an old debate. Gleaning insights from the Old Testament book of Ruth, the authors draw principles from one of the most positive and wholesome man-woman relationships described in the Bible. In Boaz (a landowner from Israel) and Ruth (a refugee from Moab) we find down-to-earth examples of wisdom, godliness, submission, gentleness, humility and strength. Together they show it is possible for men and women to do more than just tolerate each other.

With such practical guidelines, the authors reveal how we can build each other up rather than focusing on each other's flaws."--BOOK JACKET.
