For Rahab, this has become her life. She is a harlot, and she is convinced this is her mothers’ fault. Now a nomadic people known as the Israelites have conquered two kings nearby, just east of the Jordan River Valley. At first, Rahab takes only mild notice. But then two spies enter Jericho and break into her house...

In this compilation of the five books in the best-selling Lineage of Grace series by Francine Rivers, we meet the five women whom God chose - Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. Each was faced with extraordinary - even scandalous - challenges. Each took great personal risk to fulfill her calling. Each was destined to play a key role in the lineage of Jesus Christ, the savior of the World.

Rahab is an adventurous girl who enjoys playing with her siblings in the city of Jericho. Growing up, she makes a lot of bad choices, then desperately wants to change her life. When two Israelite spies come to Rahab's door, she bravely offers them a place to hide. Then God gives her a great idea to help them escape, and the spies agree to protect her and her family once Israel takes over Jericho. And when that day finally comes, God keeps His promise to Rahab because of her faithfulness and courage, even making her a relative to Jesus.

Yes, it’s true—Rahab was a prostitute—until the day God redeemed her. But gratefully, once we have been redeemed, God doesn’t see any of us through the lens of our sin; rather, He sees us through the lens of His Son. It was by faith, this woman of courage and strength did not die with all the others in her city. And it was by faith, she became a part of the ancestral line that led to the advent of Jesus. This is the story of the heroine who protected the Israelite spies … and so much more.
