A scarlet cord tethers one ruined woman to the salvation of mankind.
Harboring two fugitives in a city slated for destruction, Rahab has one small chance of escape. In exchange for their safety, she bargains for her own. Their agreement rewards her courage, and she flees Jericho and a life of prostitution for a new life among the people of Israel. Never again will she have to depend on anyone—especially men.
Except Salmah won’t take the hint.
High ranking soldier and leader of the tribe of Judah, Salmah is determined not to repeat his parents’ mistakes. He will keep the Lord’s commandments. Rahab’s growing faith fits right in with phase one of his plans: find a wife who loves the Lord and settle down in the new land.
Rahab finds shelter and meaning in the Lord’s ways until her past comes back to haunt her. As her new faith is put to test, she finds herself alone. Isn’t that what she’d always wanted?
With her courage waning, only the Lord can turn Rahab’s life around again, but will He do it before she loses everyone and everything that really matters to her—to her heart?
Rahab’s Courage by Naomi Craig is an insightful plunge into the unfathomable psychological trauma and anguish of a victim of abuse. It is a redemption story; a story of so great a love that even through all the pain love transforms, rescues, and renews a woman who has given up hope. Join the “Harlot of Jericho” on this incredible adventure; step into her shoes to meet “the One who sees” and knows all her faults, pain, suffering, and brokenness and loves her anyway. Cry with her, find Joy in the small things, and walk in courage and faith as she grows and transforms into a woman of grace and beauty.
