But when her hateful stepmother accused her of witchery, Rahab was banished to live off the streets in Jericho. Now the girl known as Rahab the Outcast has no choice but to mingle with the city's untouchables--and join its ranks of prostitutes ... Even in the mire, Rahab keeps alive her faith in God. Then two Jewish spies for Joshua appear on her doorstep, begging her to hide them. Now, Rahab faces the biggest decision of her life: stay safe and slam the door in their faces--or help her fellow believers and transform herself from harlot to heroine ..."--Flyleaf.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity Today 5-Star Review Publishers Weekly Review Foreword Reviews Indie Awards Finalist Gain a greater understanding of gender in the Bible through the eyes of a diverse group of evangelical scholars who assert that Christians have missed the point of some scriptural stories by assuming the women in them were "bad girls." Did the Samaritan woman really divorce five husbands in a world where women rarely divorced even one? Did Bathsheba seduce King David by bathing in the nude? Was Mary Magdalene really a reformed prostitute? While many have written studies of the women in the Bible, this is a new kind of book--one in which an international team of male and female scholars look afresh at vilified and neglected women in the Bible. The result is a new glimpse into God's heart for anyone, male or female, who has limited social power.
Download or read book This Scarlet Cord written by Joan Wolf and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2012-07-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within one of the Old Testament’s most famous battles lies one of the most tender love stories. Hidden within the battle of Jericho is the story of Rahab, a beautiful and brave young Canaanite woman who aided the Israelites by hanging a piece of scarlet cord from a window. This act of faith changed her life by placing her in the genealogy of Christ. Rahab is the youngest daughter of a Canaanite farmer, taken to Jericho for the pagan New Year so her father can find her a wealthy spouse. Sala, the Israelite boy who had once saved her from being kidnapped, is also in Jericho. When the two young people meet again they admit their love for one another, but their different religions make marriage impossible. Their love story plays out against the background of Jericho’s pagan rites. It is only when the One True God of Israel comes into Rahab’s life—and she realizes what He is calling her to do—that she and Sala can come together. Witness Rahab as a young woman determined to find her destiny as she follows her heart toward true love . . . and the One True God. "Wolf (A Reluctant Queen) holds our interest by skillfully conjuring up a fascinating version of Rahab’s story, successfully persuading us that the story is far more complex than merely a “scarlet cord.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: Rahab's rescue during the destruction of Jericho is only the beginning of her spiritual journey in this Biblical narrative. And she isn't the only Canaanite to make a deal with Hebrew spies, either. Two of her Canaanite acquaintances, merchant brothers from Gibeon and Bethel, plan their strategies for handling the Israelite invaders. And while Rahab adjusts to her new lifestyle, learns more about the Creator-God, and tries to win acceptance among God's people, a romance blossoms during the Israelites' early attempts to settle in the Promised Land. Judy Savoy enjoys reading, writing, teaching, making music, playing badminton, doing aqua-robics, and studying the Bible, not necessarily in that order. Formerly of Massachusetts, she and her husband Frank now live in Midlothian, VA, near three of their grown children.

The women in her tent warn Jael that, to bear Heber the sons he demands, she will have to risk shame, betrayal of her vows, even possible execution.

Now there’s no turning back on the path that will lead her to change history—by doing the unthinkable. “Terrific biblical biographical fiction, the genesis of a new series.”—Midwest Book Review
