How and why did a beautiful "harlot" help Joshua conquer the idol-worshipping, walled Canaanite city of Jericho soon after the formerly enslaved Hebrews crossed the River Jordan? Surely a guardian angel must have been at her side.
In the mid-1200s BCE, smart, heroic innkeeper Rachab, the direct maternal ancestor of King David and Jesus Christ, is inspired by her wise grandmothers, her father's Cushite slaves, and their daughter-an angel-to reject the cruel customs of idol worshippers. Rachab's courage and wisdom lead her to save her extended family in an exciting, eye-opening exodus.
Based on the Hebrew Bible, various religions' oral and written traditions, and the latest works of historians, archeologists, and theologians, The Faithful Harlot follows the Canaanites on their Exodus from paganism to belief in a loving, singular Creator God.
