Elizabeth Elliot: The Heart of Rahab, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In the fortified city of Jericho, where power and privilege dictate survival, Rahab has spent her ¿life enduring a world that has given her no choice. Sold into servitude at a young age, she has ¿learned to navigate the treacherous streets, observing the powerful and the corrupt, all while ¿longing for something beyond the life forced upon her. She has seen the cruelty of men, the ¿unrelenting hunger of the city's gods, and the price women like her must pay to survive.¿ ¿ ¿ The rumors of an impending army begin to shake the very roots of Jericho. The God of the ¿Israelites-who drained the Red Sea and obliterated great kings-had set out towards the city ¿with his people, ready to march into the city that was deemed to be theirs. While the ¿inhabitants of Jericho were terrified, Rahab felt an inkling that something extraordinary was ¿about to unfold.¿ ¿ ¿ Then, in the dead of night, two Israelite spies arrive at her doorstep. Faced with an impossible ¿choice, Rahab must decide: turn them in and secure her place in Jericho, or risk everything-¿her safety, her home, even her life-for a chance at something greater. In that moment, she ¿places her faith in the unknown, in a God she has never met but has always longed for.
