The Rahab Chronicles Bill McClure

Be there when the invaders escort Rahab and her family from the crumbling Jericho fortress. Feel the grips on their arms as they are taken through the smoke, fumes, and blood of the collapsing city. See the makeshift tents and provisions of the Israelites' encampment at Gilgal. Is Rahab's family prisoners or guests? Feel the sadness of watching their homes and possessions burn all night. Then the next morning wake up with them to with odor of the dead city in the distance and no home, no possessions, no income, and no friends. However, the dawn brings a new order, a new beginning. In their struggle to adapt, they learn about forgiveness, God's redemption, great love, the value of giving and loving others, and God's mighty grace as well as his judgment. Page after page, you will feel God's presence in possessing the Promised Land. You will be swept away with how Joshua manages the Chosen People to mind God's laws, and fearfully cry as judgment comes upon the Army of God. Although you may know something of the beginning, you will long remember the beautiful ending as your mind and soul consume adventure after adventure. Especially, when Salmon and Rahab move to Bethlehem to accept his God promised inheritance. It is here that they grow old and have a son named Boaz. And he has a son named Obed. And so down through the generations, not far from where Salmon and Rahab lived, 1,400 years later lay a newborn boy in a manger. They called him Jesus, but we know him better as Christ the Lord. This is a special story, the product of more than a year in research and told in 144,000 words by a well established and experienced author. To open The Rahab Chronicles is to join her family and be inspired with a newness of life.
