Giveaway and Review: "The Crimson Cord" by Jill Eileen Smith

Book  Description:

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 by Dabir, counselor to the Syrian king, Rahab 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. Readers will find themselves fully immersed 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 readers' hearts.

My Thoughts:

First, I'd like to preface this by saying that I am a big fan of fiction that brings the Bible to life, and this is one of my favorite authors, along with Mesu Andrews, Roseanna White, Carole Towriss, and Tessa Afshar. I absolutely loved this book!

This book follows Rahab's story and it was a tearjerker for me in several places. The author created a sympathetic character that draws you to her and makes you root for her.

There were some deep areas of the book too, where the author delves into the contrast of God's mercy and His judgment, also reminding us that we can't categorize God and put Him in a box. He's too great, too far above us for us to completely understand Him.

In closing, I loved this book and highly recommend it. 5 stars!

I've been so excited and looking forward to "The Crimson Cord" being in my mailbox! Thanks so much! Sorry I made a mistake in my comment about the author's name on the book "The Pharaoh's Daughter"! It was written by Mesu Andrews.
