This is a work of historical fiction. The outline of the story is provided by the Bible, and I have started with the facts provided for us there. Building on that foundation, I have created action, dialogue, internal motivations, and in some cases, additional characters that I feel are consistent with the biblical record. I have attempted to remain true to the scriptural message in all points, adding only what is necessary to aid in our understanding of that message.

Rahab, a woman of faith, is one of five Eastern women from ancient times who appear in the Lineage of Grace series. The five women lived life on the edge. They had courage. They took risks. They did the unexpected. Sometimes they made mistakes.

At the end of each novella, we have included a brief study section. The ultimate authority about people of the Bible is the Bible itself. I encourage you to read it for greater understanding. And I pray that as you read the Bible, you will become aware of the continuity, the consistency, and the confirmation of God's plan for the ages -- a plan that includes you.
