Pearl in the Sand: A Novel

10th Anniversary Edition

By: Tessa Afshar

Narrated by: Diana Gardiner

Can a Canaanite harlot who made her living enticing men be a fitting wife for a leader of Israel? Shockingly, the Bible’s answer is yes.

This 10th anniversary edition of Pearl in the Sand includes new features that will invite you into the untold story of Rahab’s journey from lowly outcast to redeemed child of God. Rahab’s home is built into a wall, a wall that fortifies and protects the City of Jericho. However, other walls surround her too, walls of fear, rejection, and unworthiness....

Years of pain and betrayal have wounded Rahab’s heart—she doubts whether her dreams of experiencing true love will ever come true....

A woman with a wrecked past—a man of success, of faith...of pride. A marriage only God would conceive!

Through the heartaches of a stormy relationship, Rahab and Salmone learn the true source of one another’s worth and find healing in God.

Beautiful retelling, well written, takes you into the world of rahab as if you are there.

Brought me to tears at points and caused me to laugh. Beautiful story of the redemption of God and how His grace and mercy re-establish us outside of our sin.

Forgiveness and strong Faith. Truly inspiring story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book
So refreshing to read a book that is inspired from Biblical scriptures.
Thank you for writing a book.

Love the analogy in thisbook,

There is nothing novel in existence, as we unite and forge connections. In 1997, a divine message was revealed to me, which I will illuminate through my writings. This publication has profoundly reflected my personal journey. To the author, I express gratitude for channeling divine inspiration. May blessings be bestowed upon all contributors to this remarkable work.

Beautiful story of strength and character woven in the historical aspect of the Bible

I loved the love story emphasizing the best and worst of humanity. it showed Salman's strengths and weaknesses as well as Rehab. Loving story of forgiveness during real life trials. very good

This is such a beautiful account of how the life of Rahab and Salmon could have been. I laughed and cried, and loved everything chapter.
