Sins as Scarlet: Rahab's Story
is the second book in the Extraordinary Women of the Bible historical fiction series.
Because she is a woman and an innkeeper, many assume the worst of Rahab, calling her a harlot. But Rahab knows her own heart and mind. When Joshua sends two spies to Jericho, they seek refuge in Rahab's inn. Because God has favored the Hebrews by parting the Red Sea and performing other miracles for them, Rahab knows that God will accomplish His plan. She hides the spies on her roof so that her own people, the Canaanites, cannot find them. In return, she requests assurance that she and her family will be spared during the coming siege. Has Rahab made a terrible mistake, risking her own life and those of her loved ones? Or can she trust Joshua and his army to keep their promises?
