About this ebook

Bestselling author Joan Wolf delivers a sweeping tale of forbidden love, divine calling, and redemption in This Scarlet Cord, a stirring retelling of Rahab's story from the battle of Jericho. Perfect for readers of Tessa Afshar and Angela Hunt, this powerful novel combines historical detail with timeless romance.

"Wolf holds our interest by skillfully conjuring up a fascinating version of Rahab's story, successfully persuading us that the story is far more complex than merely a scarlet cord." --Publishers Weekly

When Rahab, the youngest daughter of a Canaanite farmer, is brought to Jericho to find a wealthy husband, she never expects to reunite with Sala--the Israelite boy who once saved her life. Their love is undeniable, but their faiths divide them. As Jericho teems with pagan rituals and looming destruction, Rahab's courageous choice to trust the God of Israel sets her on a path toward redemption, love, and a place in the very lineage of Christ.

This Scarlet Cord is a poignant tale of destiny, devotion, and redemption--perfect for fans of biblical fiction and sweeping historical romance.
