Book review — Faithful God

Book: Faithful GodAuthor: Sinclair B. FergusonPublisher: Evangelical PressRetail Price: £8.99 (buy now)
Review by Sheila Stephen1 minute readJuly/August 2025, page 28

Faithful God

Faithful God is a new edition of a book first published in 2004. It traces the sovereignty of God through the book of Ruth and is based on addresses first given at the Aberystwyth Conference in 1996. Sinclair B. Ferguson takes this familiar Bible love story and applies its truths to the redemptive story and person of Christ. Along the way, the reader will learn more about Old Testament background and customs, as well as how to interpret the Old Testament. The writer’s contemporary style brings this familiar story to life and draws the reader into personal application of the text. It is a great book for Bible study.
