Driven into debt bondage by a wastrel husband, and then forced into prostitution, Rahab despairs of finding her freedom in Jericho. When Israelite spies arrive at her house, Rahab sees a glimmer of hope, and in one risky moment she puts her trust in a God she does not know.
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 by Dabir, counselor to the Syrian king, Rahab 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. Readers will find themselves fully immersed 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 readers' hearts.

An eye opening read into the life of Rahab. How often I have read the story of Jericho but never gave two thoughts about Rahab and how life was for her. This story shows detailed research and an understanding of the times and the lack of freedom of choice women had. Sold off to pay her husbands' debt, Rahab no longer knows herself under all the pretending required to survive. It's a beautiful story of forgiveness and that God is full of grace, no matter who you are. Rahab's transformation and character development was subtle but powerful, as was Salmon's. He is a God of miracles and redemption, and that nothing will come in between His plan. I will read the story of Jericho with new eyes after this book. Very keen to read Smith's other books.
