Johansen, a former teacher of Chemistry, Integrated Physics, and 7th Grade Science, created this adaptation to share the themes found in the Book of Ruth with a younger audience. The author drew inspiration from her family's interest in the biblical account and worked to make its lessons accessible to young girls who might otherwise find the ancient text challenging to approach.
The original Book of Ruth recounts how a Moabite woman commits herself to the Israelite people through an oath to her mother-in-law Naomi after both women are widowed. Ruth's famous declaration, "Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God," forms the foundation of her story of loyalty and faith. Ruth later marries Boaz of Bethlehem and becomes the great-grandmother of King David, placing her in the ancestral line that leads to Jesus.
In her retelling, Johansen maintains fidelity to the biblical narrative while creating an engaging format for young readers. The story highlights the values of perseverance through hardship, community support, and personal courage that characterize Ruth in scripture. By presenting these themes through Ruth's own voice, Johansen makes the ancient story relatable to contemporary young readers.
'Ruth: Finding My True Love' adds to Johansen's collection of Christian-inspired literature. Her previous publication, 'Hawaiian Wildflower,' is a murder mystery that incorporates Christian values and appropriate language for all readers, demonstrating her versatility across different genres while maintaining her faith-based approach.
A lifelong resident of West Texas, Johansen applies her background as an educator and her Christian faith to her writing. Her works combine entertainment with faith-affirming messages, presenting stories with both intrigue and moral clarity. Johansen believes that storytelling serves as an effective vehicle for communicating biblical principles to readers of all ages.
The Book of Ruth has long been valued for its literary quality and theological significance. Scholars note its beautiful construction, effective use of dialogue, and profound insights into divine and human relationships. By adapting this text for young readers, Johansen continues a tradition of making biblical stories accessible to new generations.
