This is the first book that I have read by Francine Rivers. This is a novella about Rahab and her amazing faith. She is listed in the line of Jesus, even though she started her life as a prostitute, she is given a place a honor is scripture.
Rivers does a great job of adding emotion and context to the old testament story of Jericho. Rahab had to have amazing faith to believe in the God of the Hebrews admist the idolatry of her city. She also had to stand up and explain her faith to an unbelieving family. The spies were also impressed by her faith and vowed to save her. She believed and was saved. Isn't that what our faith is all about?
A great read.
