A real page turner about a biblical story and a woman of the bible!

I was really surprised at what a great book this was! It wasn't written to make Rahab look like a sweet church lady. She was a real person in the Bible, a prostitute. There were no soft frilly illistrations to describe her life. The author did a great job describing her profession without being too revealing or leaving out important details. These women lived hard lives. When I read about the walls of Jehrico comming down I will never think of it the same way again. I am fascinated too how God uses not so perfect people to carry out his perfect plans. And Rahab! what can I say? I'm so glad to know that God loved her and used her to bring his plans to fruition.

Intense and fast paced!

It's very obvious that Ann Burton did a great deal of research before she wrote Rahab's Story. I LOVED it from beginning to end! She takes an already wonderful story and expands it through her imagination without ruining its Biblical credibility. After finishing, I read Joshua 2 in the Bible and Ann Burton helped me "flesh out" some of the details which could have been entirely possible. Now I can't wait to read more of Burton's Women of the Bible series! I HIGHLY recommend Rehab's Story!

Could not put it down.

I read this book in less than 48 hours. I read the first one and can not wait for the next in the series.
