Sold into slavery and prostitution to cover her husband's gambling debts, Rahab has nothing to lose by harboring two Israelite spies in exchange for protection when the army of Israel arrives at the gates of Jericho. Putting her trust in an unfamiliar God gives Rahab the strength to believe the spies will keep their word.
VERDICT Impeccable research and vivid prose from Smith ("The Wives of the Patriarchs" series; "The Wives of King David" books) brings the ancient city of Jericho to life. The author's reinterpretation of a classic Old Testament story rings with authenticity. CF devotees who relished Tosca Lee's Legend of Sheba, Tessa Afshar's In the Field of Grace, or Angela Hunt's Esther: Royal Beauty will enjoy this pleasurable read.
