Book: Rahab’s Courage / Author: Naomi Craig / Genre: Biblical Fiction
Release date: August 17, 2021
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?
Was
it an ambush? The slow pace of the city negated that worry. He’d have to carry
on with the original plan to trust this woman. He angled his neck to calculate
the climb up the stairs.
The
woman slanted her eyes up as well. “There is a place about halfway up. You can
rest there.”
Salmah
exhaled and pulled at his pack.
“It’d
be easier if you left it.”
He
scowled. As much as he hated to admit it, she spoke wisely. He tucked his pack
behind the water jar.
Her
black eyes drifted from his ankle to his sword. She pulled the scarf from her
hair and tossed it to him. “For your sword.”
Black
curls tumbled down to the middle of her back. Salmah pulled his gaze away,
turning his attention to tying his sword to his side.
The
woman scanned the inner gate and the overwatch.
Salmah
could sense time running out. “I could kill you if you try anything.”
“I
guess we will have to trust each other.” She met his gaze frankly.
If
he was going to choose to trust her—no, trust Yahweh— he needed to move now. He
pushed himself to a standing position.
