Download or read book Rahab's Choice written by Judy Savoy and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Book Synopsis Vindicating the Vixens by : Sandra Glahn
Download or read book Vindicating the Vixens written by Sandra Glahn and published by Kregel Academic. This book was released on 2017 with total page 304 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Faithfulness in Action by : Katharine D. Sakenfeld
Download or read book Faithfulness in Action written by Katharine D. Sakenfeld and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2001-12-05 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The broad outlines of God's faithfulness have, of course, been well known. But this rereading by Professor Sankenfeld lets us see much that we have missed. This book thus raises important questions, not only about exegetical substance, but also about the interpretive process. The two belong together. The combination here is a welcome articulation." Walter Brueggemann, from the Foreword
Book Synopsis The ‘Geometrics’ of the Rahab Story by : Andrzej Toczyski SDB
Download or read book The ‘Geometrics’ of the Rahab Story written by Andrzej Toczyski SDB and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the dialectic relationship between the text, conceived as the vehicle of narrative communication, and the reader in an assemenent of the story of Rahab – the prostitute from Jericho – in Josuha 2. Toczyski uses his study to examine how this story has been read by various audiences across time, the different interpretive perspectives and methodologies that have thus been brought to the text and the influences this has had on the manner in which the story has been interpreted. In particular Toczyski focuses on internal literary analysis of Joshua 2 and the external historical approach and what this can say about the readers of the text. The purpose of such insight is to register how successive interpretations overlap and set the interpretative pattern for subsequent generations of readers. As a result of this conceptual framework, Toczyski presents the Rahab story in the broader context of the communicative process, which has been challenging the story's readers for centuries. This deep immersion into both internal and external contexts reveals the generally-overlooked thread within the Rahab story, namely “the power of storytelling”, which may prove relevant for contemporary readers by providing grounds for inter-cultural dialogue in the postmodern world.

Book Synopsis Rahab, Woman of Jericho by : Diana Wallis Taylor
Download or read book Rahab, Woman of Jericho written by Diana Wallis Taylor and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some biblical scholars maintain that Rahab, the woman who hid Joshua’s two spies, was a harlot or prostitute. So how did she become one of the ancestors of Jesus Christ? Wouldn’t the Father ensure a pure lineage for His Son? In this historical fiction, author Diana Wallis Taylor offers a beautiful story of intrigue that suggests Rahab was a descendent of Ephraim, one of the ten lost tribes of Israel. With no available Jewish men in her town, she marries Radames, a young Egyptian officer who is the new governor of Jericho. When the Israelites approach Canaan with their army, pharaoh sends word that he is withdrawing his troops. Radames fabricates a story to tell Jericho’s king, but Hammurabi doesn’t believe it…and he has his eye on the beautiful Rahab. What will happen to Rahab after the lecherous king poisons her husband? How can she save her family from the invading Israelites? God parted the waters of the Jordan River for them—will He likewise provide miracles and blessings to her Ephraimite clan if they can rejoin their people?
Download or read book I Am Rahab written by Autumn Miles and published by Worthy Books. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do when you can relate more to Jezebel, Ahab, or Eve than Esther or Mary? To her surprise and joy, author Autumn Miles discovered most of the heroes of the Bible were plagued with the same problem. They were ordinary people who sinned, but God's love, mercy, and truth proved greater. I Am Rahab provides a better understanding of God, with a focus on the breadth of his reach to use and redeem all things for the good of his purposes, and for their benefit as his beloved children. You will find comfort in relating to Rahab and to Autumn's own raw story of surviving domestic abuse and will be encouraged to know you are not alone in a life disrupted by bad choices, nor are you meant to stay there. You can move forward from your past and have an abundant future.

Book Synopsis Preparation Creates Opportunity by : Paul Murray
Download or read book Preparation Creates Opportunity written by Paul Murray and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Joshua is the biblical record of the conquest of Canaan, an event that fulfilled a promise God made to Abram and his descendant's generations earlier. It was the gift of God to His people, the Promised Land, the land of milk and honey. After Israel's delivery from four hundred years of bondage in Egypt and the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, Israel was brought into a new relationship with God. God gave them His Law and established them as a nation on Mount Sinai. They were instructed to enter the Promised Land at Kadesh-barnea, but after spying out the land, they were terrified. The land was a land of milk and honey, as God said, but God forgot to mention that there were giants in the land. These were men of immense size and strength who made the Israelites feel like grasshoppers in their sight. The Jews didn't believe God could give them the land with those odds and refused to obey His will to enter the land. In response, they rebelled against Moses and Joshua. God judged that generation for their lack of faith and obedience by causing them to wander forty years in the wilderness, going nowhere, until that entire sinful generation perished. Finally, a nation of young men who had grown up in the wilderness stand at the banks of the Jordan River. They can see the Promised Land across the raging waters. The ancient fulfillment of the promise and the gift of God are so close. But before the conquest can begin, the river must be crossed and preparations must be made. These preparations will serve as the basis of the conquest that will unfold over the next seven plus years. Come along for the ride. You're about to see God do wonders you've never imagined. Walk with these men and feel the drama unfold. It will change your view of who God is.
