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.

Although this is Louis Green's first novel, his unique speaking style has captivated audiences since the mid 1960's. Now the masterful preacher presents the Parable of the Prodigal in such a way that each chapter will say to you, "this is how it must have happened." The Crimson Cord is comprised of multiple intertwined strands, woven in complexity when a young mother dies giving birth to twin sons. While dying, she gives them names foretelling of their oncoming conflict. The confusion accompanying their birth, threatens to destroy their family as they grow older. Strengthen the cord with a scarlet thread of jealousy of an abused concubine possessed with insecurities and the blood red rage of a spurious criminal who will stop at nothing to get revenge. Then plait the cord with an outer layer of witchcraft, drugs and deviant sex, as the younger son pursues an uncharted course, caravanning to Carnival in Canaan. After learning life's hard lessons, the lost one retraces his steps home, to be embraced in celebration by some but spurned by his brother's contempt. Will the cord become an inescapable web of death or a safety net of love as the last chapter concludes in unexpected tumult?
