Summary: Awsome!
Review: This book is so realistic in it's writing that you feel as though you are in the room with Rahab and her family. Her strength through much adversity is amazing. Thanks Francine Rivers for bringing Rahab to life for me!

Summary: Excellent
Review: This book was so interesting and gripping that I finished it before I realized it. This was a woman with tenacity, incredible faith, and courage. My twin daughters attended a Christain private school through their whole school-aged life, and ALL of Francine's books get me and my daughters talking about the people of the Bible and the stories of their lives. Francine, you're the best! Very, very good story. Thanks :-}

Summary: Another Example of God's Love Finding You
Review: This is truly a marvelous read. As with her first book, Ms. Rivers has once again brought to life a woman, who by her faith and courage shows us, as women of today, how to live for God. Joshua 6:25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel [even] unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. ========================== Hebrews 11:6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. =========================== When I finished reading this book, my thoughts were of how God is no respecter of person. All you need is to believe and have a willing heart to serve Him. Rehab was a prostitute, residing in Jericho who was chosen by God to be a help to His people, the Israelites. She not only believed and accepted the God of Israel as her God, but her faith was such that she trusted him to keep her and her family from harm even in the midst of all that was going on around her. I can understand her "bullying" her family. Even today when a member of a household is 'Saved'; their only desire is to share and show what God has done for them and like Rehab's family, no matter how much they may see the marvelous workings of God around them, they just continue to hold fast to their 'idols' of man's making. The love story is a small part of a small book, yet I think the love story is more about Rehab and God Himself. By her actions, she is changing because of her trust and faith in Him. The romance with Salmon is well done for the time frame that its placed in. I would have liked to have read more about it, yet I can't image God bringing them together and not blessing her with a happy and fruitful marriage. We have to remember that she is of course, named in the lineage of Jesus Christ. I think that says it all.

Summary: Brava
Review: This will probably be my favorite story in this series(although I have always enjoyed the story of Ruth a lot, and anticipate her story). What Rahab did was a beautiful,unselfish act that God never forgotten and didn't let pass by. it just goes to show you how God always will use someone to help him in His cause. And how many wished for a man liked Salmon? I mean despite what he saw, he saw her heart, and wanted her despite her past. That takes an extraordinary person to do that. But, one thing he did was pray and seek wise counsel before anything else. It showed that despite his feelings, he prayed for God's counsel. What a beautiful story!
