The Crimson Cord: Rahab's Story

ON MY WISHLIST

Jill Eileen Smith is a very talented writer that I definitely see a passion to spread the Gospel in. Biblical fiction is one of my very favorite genres to read because those who write it spend tons of time researching and pouring their love into their book, therefore Biblical fiction books are generally extremely well written and accurate to what is written in the Bible, but because it is fiction, it has a stylish flare. I was not disappointed in this area with The Crimson Cord, as it was beautifully written and the story plot was engaging. However, the story did seem to lag just a bit here and there, losing my interest temporarily, and the details tended to override the actual story. I was very pleased with the character development though, and loved the emotions that were captured in Smith's lovely writing style.

Given the above, I rate The Crimson Cord, 4 out of 5 stars and do look forward to reading more books from this author.

“As love is a gift,” Salmon said, his words like a caress. “You can give and receive it, but you cannot repay it.”

Not much is known about Rahab and I enjoyed this perspective of what her life could have been like. Her strength, loss and courage to forgive herself and love again was wonderfully written.
