So Boaz said to Ruth, “My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with the women who work for me. Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the women. I have told the men not to lay a hand on you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled. At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground. She asked him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me—a foreigner?” Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. 12 May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” (Ruth 2:8-11 NIV)
A–K–AWESOME GODLY BOOK
As far as the sanctity of marriage goes, Cleorah Scruggs-DeBose is glad she waited for God’s cue to go into covenant.
So much, in fact, that she has become greatly inspired to disclose such an awe-inspiring journey in a life-altering book.
A native of Akron, Ohio, Scruggs-DeBose is the mastermind behind Boaz Found Me: A Love Story, an informative and spiritually-empowering book this Flint, Michigan, Christian-based writer assembled as a spiritual tool to help believers to routinely apply Biblical principles that often arise in what she appropriately describes as their “personal dating life.”
In essence, Scruggs-DeBose’s Boaz Found Me: A Love Story — which is accompanied by the Boaz Found Me Companion Guide — is a remarkably compelling love story, of sorts, one that brings hope for your Boaz, this anointed and gifted author emphasizes.
“(I was inspired to write this book) shortly after my marriage, because it was a confirmation that waiting on the Lord and His timing pays the best dividends,” Scruggs-DeBose told Making Headline News during a recent interview.
Generally, Scruggs-DeBose’s Boaz Found Me: A Love Story depicts the lives of two born again believers, who had only seen each other twice since childhood, she writes in a detailed synopsis of her featured written work at https://csdministries.org/.

Both, she said, had never been married, nor had children and and wound up starting a courtship after retirement. Also, Scruggs-DeBose’s husband, Deacon Paul DeBose, shares his pertinent thoughts in her book.
Also, Scruggs-DeBose’s Boaz Found Me: A Love Story foreword by the late Bishop P. A. Brooks, the former First Assistant Presiding Bishop Church of God In Christ, Inc. Scruggs-DeBose’s Boaz Found Me Companion Guide was written by Reverend Dr. Charles DeBose of California State University St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church.
“This real-life testimony is a love story of their journey, articulated with unique multicultural wit and sensitivity that will amuse, inform, inspire, and encourage you as Cleorah tells how Boaz — not Bimbo or Bozo — found me,” said a spokesperson for Scruggs-DeBose’s Boaz Found Me: A Love Story.
A book that has been on display at the Church of God In Christ’s International Convocation and various workshops, Scruggs-DeBose’s Boaz Found Me: A Love Story has garnered an assortment of rave reviews, many whom expressed how the book was “miraculously created,” she said.
When asked what was the single, most underlying reason she elected to produce such an intriguing book, Scruggs-DeBose said: “To be an inspiration to the reader and share my testimony that God is still in the miracle-working business, and He can bless you with Boaz or Ruth, not Bozo, Bimbo or Bimzella.”
In other words, Scruggs-DeBose is swift to point out “Boaz can be a mate ministry or another matter. So be in prayer for your tailormade Boaz.”
Interestingly enough, Scruggs-DeBose emphasized that her book set is for Christian singles, dating couples, as well as for women and multicultural diversity ministries, a highly sought after publish work that vividly reminds the reader a love story that’s accompanied by an array of hope, she said.
A licensed evangelist and missionary, Scruggs-DeBose and her family are members of Flint’s Harris Memorial Church of God In Christ under the leadership of Pastor Eric C. and Elect Lady Karleen Bogan (and Supervisor Dianne Bogan).

Scruggs-DeBose’s Boaz Found Me: A Love Story was presented at the Alpha Kappa Alpha National and International Boule, as well as during the Multicultural Diversity presentations.
“Despite a rewarding, full life, Cleorah longed for the fulfillment of a God-given soul mate, her Boaz,” a spokesperson for Scruggs-DeBose’s Boaz Found Me: A Love Story said. “Well, that day finally did come when God miraculously joined in holy matrimony, Paul and Cleorah.”
And the rest, as they say, was history.
MOTHER DEBORAH WALKER SCRUGGS’ BOOK
Like her daughter, Scruggs-DeBose’ mother, Deborah Walker Scruggs, has authored a rather fascinating book. The title: Pearls of Wisdom: From The Scruggs House of Soul.
A book that was composed by this beloved and devout servant of God and mother of her five, Walker Scruggs’ Pearls of Wisdom: From The Scruggs House of Soul is dedicated in large part to the neighborhood, friends, fellow church members, and whom this writer senses need what she describes as “the strength and warmth of a caring mother figure.”
