I thoroughly enjoyed this last book. The Scarlet Cord; the love story of Rahab by
Joan Wolf is a wonderful interpretation of the Rahab story. I have always been fascinated by this story
and wondered where her intrigue into a different live and God came from the existence
as a Canaanite. Ms. Wolf does a wonder
job and describing life in Jericho and the way of life for a Canaanite. To them their wall seems impenetrable. Rahab and her family’s life are thrown together
with two Israelite merchants and their life is forever changed. Rahab is torn between her family and old life
and the new possible life is Sala, the Israelite.
Again, I really enjoyed this book. I found it hard to put down. From the beginning of the book she has you
hooked wondering what is going to happen to Rahab through all her
circumstances. My only complaint/thing
about this book is it does not follow Rahab’s living conditions described in
the bible. I do think this picture
paints a little too rosy picture of what Rahab was doing.
Note: I did receive a copy of this book free to read and
review from www.booksneeze.com. The opinions above are my own and I was not
compensated for a positive review.
