Publisher's Summary

Wife to a gambler who took one too many risks, Rahab finds herself sold as a slave to cover her husband's debt. Forced into prostitution, she despairs of ever regaining her freedom and her self-respect. But when Israelite spies enter Jericho and come to lodge at her house, Rahab sees a glimmer of hope and the opportunity of a lifetime. In one risky moment, she takes a leap of faith, puts her trust in a God she does not know, and vows to protect the spies from the authorities.

When the armies of Israel arrive weeks later, Rahab hopes they will keep their promise, but she has no idea what kind of challenges await her outside Jericho's walls - or if she will ever know the meaning of love.

Under Jill Eileen Smith's talented hand, the familiar story of Rahab bursts forth in high definition. Immerse yourself in a world of dark and dusty streets, clandestine meetings, and daring escapes as a mysterious biblical figure claims her full humanity - and a permanent place in your heart.

decent

not bad, narration could have been more engaged, got better as the book went on.
story line felt rushed and not much in the way of emotional connect. usually a good author but this book felt lacking.

The Crimson Cord

An interesting take on Rahab’s story. It was pretty good but the narration did not help to get really into the story as well as it could have….the narrator was so robotic without much inflection or emotion that it felt like a computer generated voice.
