Synopsis

"Rahab's story is one of the most moving redemption accounts in Scripture. The Crimson Cord perfectly captures all the drama of the original, fleshing out the characters with care and thought. Jill's storytelling skills kept me reading late into the night. A beautiful tale, beautifully told!"—Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times bestselling author of Mine Is the Night 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.

Trying to get my reading done whilst I buddy read another book. I’ve been really getting into biblical fiction like reading retellings of bible stories I have read before.

Goodreads review by Kristen on October 11, 2016

It's been a long time since I picked up a biblical fiction story, but this was a great read to dive into for "re-entering" the genre. I love the story of Rahab, short as it is, and Smith did a wonderful job of fleshing out her story and adding in details of the time and lifestyles of both the Canaan......more
