About this listen

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, she 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. Immerse yourself 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 your heart.

I really enjoyed this story. However, I found the narrator a bit robotic. Worth the download.

Fantastic story

What a beautiful story. I have often wondered about Rahab’s story beyond what we read in the Bible about her great faith and her helping the spies escape. It’s a fine line to walk writing ✍️ novels based on the Bible, Not wanting to write too much or guessing too little. I truely believe that Jill Eileen Smith has got it right and that God has guided her when writing ✍️ this story. Amen!

Absolutely wonderful…
