Why read it?
1 author picked Pearl in the Sand as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Tessa Afshar's book is full of grit and honesty that left me rejoicing in the God of new beginnings.
It traces the story of Rahab the prostitute in the Old Testament, contextualizing it with an intriguing “before” and “after” picture of this Canaanite woman who aided the Israelites and eventually became one of them.
I absolutely loved the growth in Salmone and Rahab’s relationship. The author carefully and respectfully depicts how a marriage can thrive even through trauma and hurt. This story tackles hard topics with so much grace, beauty, and hope.
From Heather's list on books featuring imaginative backstories of people in the Bible.
