review 1: Rahab is feeling empty and has a great sense of longing. She just isn't sure what she's longing for. When she hears about the God of the Israelites she wants to get to know this God who is so loving and forgiving. Her opportunity comes when two men show up at the gate claiming to be merchants. Her life, and the life of her family, is forever altered because of that split second decision to save some lives. Can Rahab let go of her past hurts and accept the love and forgiveness of the God of Israel.What a beautifully written story. I'm always reluctant to read Biblical fiction. It is so easy to detract from the real story. But this author has not only written a story that sticks with you long after you've finished the book, she has written it in such a way that I wanted to g... moreo back and read the story in the Bible as well. The story came alive as Rahab dealt with the guilt form her past and her unworthiness. The two main characters were flawed, but likeable and inspiring. The book really made me think about the whole story in a completely different light. I was also impressed with the amount of research that went into this book. It gave the story a very authentic feel. I enjoyed the book and the author's writing style so much that I've already purchased several of her other books.
review 2: All I can say is thank you Afshar for writing this novel! It was well worth my time and a pleasure to read. Not only did I enjoyed this novel but it moved me emotionally and spiritually. What a beautiful portrayal of God's love, pursuit, grace, forgiveness, sovereignty and so much more! This is one of those novels that just speaks to you on a deeper level and is one that you can't wait to tell others about. This book needs to be on your MUST READ list! Afshar did a wonderful job of weaving biblical truth with historical facts and then imagination, creating a novel that I can't wait to read again! This is one for your keeper shelf! Another reviewer ranked it right up there with River's Redeeming Love novel and Austin's Chronicles of the Kings Series and I have to agree - yes it is that good! less
